== Cygwin Known Problems ==
After using the Cygwin Setup, someSome applications may not compile with errorsCygwin with such errors as
"default file extension - cannot create executables" or "cannot find crt2.o" or "cannot find -lmingw".
 
Line 20:
gcc-mingw-gpp++
mingw-runtime
ClickingClick on 'Keep' next to each package willto change the option to "'Re-install"'.
Then click next, next etc.. and the libraries will be re-installed.
 
Re-installation can be sped up by selecting "Install from Local Directory" rather than "Install from Internet" when Cygwin setup starts. This will use packages already on your computer, installing from the Internet each time will guarantee any updates available are installed.
 
There is a small chance that Cygwin may 'break' itself after updates, but after following this procedure you should be back in business.
