I reccently wanted to start learning how to code. I bought a book which led me to the cygwin site.
It asked for me to install using the setup.exe and to also select the gcc core: C compiler, which I did. At the end of the installation I received an error or sorts.
It stated:
Posinstall Script Error
Package: Unknown Package
??? ??? ??? ??? bash.sh exit code 1.
As far as I can see it installed correctly either way. I can open the cygwin terminal and it works fine.
From there it said to run:
gcc hello.c
But when I do I get an error on the terminal saying:
gcc: no file or directory found
gcc: no input file
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling. I disabled my AV. I have added
c:\cygwin\bin to my Windows PATH using an elevated command prompt.
Thanks in advance, I am totally new to programming and I'm not even sure if I
navigated the Cygwin page correctly, but I did try my best.
