    Help With Cygwin

    Hello everybody, i am pretty new to programming. Anyway, i am trying to learn in programing, and i have some code i want to try out. i Have cygwin because i used to use it for PSP programming. Whenever i type in a comand on the bash screen, it doesnt recognize the commands, even some of the simple ones. It doesnt know what an 'int' is. I think i need libraries for cygwin. can somebody please help me find out where to get the libraries and where to save them under? I need some libraries for both pascal and C.

    Also, i tryed this:

    Code:
    POINT pt;
    
    GetCursorPos(&pt)
    And Cygwin sees the & as an unexpected token.
    I am on windows xp.

    any help is greatly apreciated.

    Isn't Cygwin a Linux/unix shell emulator for the Dos command prompt?

    Basically. What it does is allow you to run native-linux apps within the Windows environment.
    Programming is a branch of mathematics.
