Yesterday I tryed to install CDT on my PC (modem connection to i-net).
I had allready downloaded CDT on my university, but I haven't known, that
I need cygwin, too. So I tryed and tryed till I found a comment in the
help of CDT wich lead me to cygwin. But just with a modem, I had to stop
installing CDT ... this was really frustrating.
So please, make on the CDT Homepage a section "needed Files" or something,
where a link to cygwin is puplished.
I searched today again, and even your FAQ has no hint about needed files.
Thats ... - not good.
MfG
Kevin Fleischer

Some more "misinformations".
cygwin does not include the "make.exe" and "gcc.exe" or "g++.exe" or
"c++.exe". (like it was written in the cdt-help. May you can download it
there seperately...?)
mingw does not include the "mingw32-make" (but it can be downloaded
seperately)
(Sometimes I found on the internet this build options: "mingw32 -make -k"
They are wrong and won't work! Use "mingw32-make -k" instead.)
But...I'm happy now, my first helloworld has build successfully.... ;)

Well, to be clear, cygwin isn't actually required to use the CDT, especially
if you are not on Windows. You do need a compiler and a version of make.
Whether that is cygwin or not is up to you. Personally, I prefer mingw and
msys when running on Windows. Linux, of course, generally comes with the
plain vanilla gnu tools.
And, yes, cygwin does have make and gcc/g++, but not by default. You have to
turn them on in the developer tools section.
And, yes, mingw does come with a make, but don't use it since it is pretty
limited in functionality. You need to use the make from msys instead.
Cheers,
Doug.
