What you search for is probably a IDE which not really comes with cygwin.. If
you really want to go the hard "GNU way" of developing sofware with the
autotools and ideally xemacs/emacs(or even vim?:-) you may install cygwin and
have a look at some nice tutorial i found:
http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~iam/docs/tutorial.html
-most efficient with large unix Projects
-long learning phase(no help with linker stuff in here..)
For a IDE, look at Bloodsheds DevCpp(also GNU licensed i think):
http://www.bloodshed.net/
-Creates nice dependencies/Makefiles from the DevCpp Project-Files.
-Convert existing VC++ Projects into its own Project-Files.
-Installs new libraries(incl.+lib.) with a Packagemanager.
-Provides Templateprojects with predefined linker options for nearly every
Package.
-Provides Documentation(often WinHelp Files with F1 on the word) for many
packages.
-Comes with the Mingw compiler(although cygwin conf. possible).
-Builtin frontend for gdb(debugger).
-VC++-like intellisense(also try Strg-Click on something in the code)
-Classbrowser
-etc..
If you have to learn C++ from scratch and are searching for a free GNU-IDE,
maybe you should try this one first. Hope this helps...
