This is somewhat off-topic for this newsgroup, but ...
When you run the "setup.exe" installer for Cygwin, it installs a
certain subset of packages by default. gcc is not in that subset.
Run setup.exe again, and select "gcc".
Questions about using Cygwin can be directed to the cygwin mailing
list; see www.cygwin.com.
Note that the Cygwin version of gcc generates executables that depend
on the Cygwin system (cygwin.dll, I think). There are other ****ts of
gcc to Windows that don't have this problem. I think MinGW is one; if
you Google it, you'll quickly know more about it than I do.
