C libraries

[Robert Mark Bram]

Hi All

I am aware that this might not be a *cygwin* problem - but I think it has to
do with libraries I don't have (or don't have in the right place) and I
would very much appreciate some assistance.

I am trying to compile a sample piece of c code:
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{ int ch;
  int vowel_count = 0,
      other_char_count = 0;

  while ((ch = getchar()) != EOF)
    switch (ch)
    {
      case 'a':
      case 'e':
      case 'i':
      case 'o':
      case 'u': vowel_count++;
              break;
      default:  other_char_count++;
    }
  printf("Vowels: %d; Other: %d\n",
	vowel_count, other_char_count);
  exit(0);
}


I get a stream of errors from gcc reporting missing files..

$ gcc text.c
In file included from /usr/include/stdio.h:29,
                 from text.c:1:
/usr/include/_ansi.h:16:24: sys/config.h: No such file or directory
In file included from text.c:1:
/usr/include/stdio.h:45:23: sys/reent.h: No such file or directory
/usr/include/stdio.h:46:23: sys/types.h: No such file or directory
In file included from text.c:1:
/usr/include/stdio.h:50: parse error before "fpos_t"
/usr/include/stdio.h:51: parse error before "FILE"
/usr/include/stdio.h:57:23: sys/stdio.h: No such file or directory
/usr/include/stdio.h:162: parse error before '*' token
/usr/include/stdio.h:164: parse error before '*' token
/usr/include/stdio.h:165: parse error before '*' token
 .... <snip>

When I launched Cygwin's setup.exe, I selecte the gcc and make utilities.
Was there another option I should have selected to include the library files
mentioned here or is my error of some other kind?

Thanks for any advice!

Rob
