It depends on the specs of your PC. If I were you, I would do it while I'm sleeping.

Yeah, but you only do it once. You could always try LUA. Download my program that teaches you LUA. It's called ProgramLUA.

I know you get more possibilites, but if he's having a hard time installing Cygwin, or he is a beginner programmer, I suggest LUA. I installed Cygwin 3 times and none of the installations worked. That's why I went to LUA. I'm learning C now though.

Cywgin is a *****, just get Linux dual booting with windows!

JaSo,, I made a guide to help install in all in one cygwin package,,
only 150mb,, and a step by step guide on seting everything up to compile your helloworld in c

its right here
[Guide] Installing All-In-One Cygwin

[Cheez Pirate]

I downloaded toolchain and it only took an hour and a half.

[the_darkside_986]

I went to the university with my 40 GB external usb hard drive and used their connection to install cygwin. I set it up locally on drive H: and the set-up took about 5 or 6 hours. It was a 3.2 Ghz Pentium 4, 1 GB of RAM, Win XP Pro. I took it home to my new PC, which also runs a version of Win XP, copied the usb drive contents to my local harddrive, edited the cygwin batch to have the right drive letters (C: instead of H, and then it has been working since then. I started to try installing it on my old Compaq Presario with Redhat 9 on it, but with dial-up and 300 Mhz Celeron, that would be just plain silly.

The last time I tried to re-partition my harddrive, I was unable to boot into Windows. The next time I try a Linux distro, it better have a repartitioning tool come with the installer. I heard Suse has that but I'm not sure.

[Sturmeh]

Put it this way.

The lengthivity of the installation,

Seperates the Dev's from those who try.

If you don't have the dedication, and/or patience to wait 3 hours, i doubt you will be a reliable dev... <_<

It's not that long, i didnt even do it over night, i just minimized it, and chat to people for 3 hours, not hard..

Ditto. I installed the toolchain on Linux. For my installation all I had to do was type three commands and wait like less than an hour for it to finish compiling.

Good, I hope that means I'll be a great dev since I sat in a freezing computer lab for 5 hours with nothing to do except browse the internet a little and freeze. I couldn't just leave my 40 GB lying around.

lol, my computer is 2.2ghz, 512 ram, athlon amd 64 processor, win xp pro, and it still did it errorless, first time, 1 hour and 30 minutes. http://mirror.ac.uk is where I got it from.
