I am following this :

Step 2: Installing Cygwin

  1. Cygwin can be downloaded from http://www.cygwin.com
  2. Run the setup file.
  3. Install from internet. Specify C:\cygwin as the root directory.
  4. In the Select Packages dialog box, select the packages required. gcc-core, gcc-g++, gdb, and make packages are most important. These are the C core, C++ core, the GNU Debugger and the GNU version of ‘make’ utility. These packages will be under the ‘Devel’ category.
  5. Complete the installation.

Step 3: Testing Cygwin

To test whether Cygwin was installed properly, try the following by opening the bash shell:

  1. cygcheck -c cygwin
  2. gcc --version
  3. g++ --version
  4. make --version
  5. gdb --version

If the version details are displayed for all these commands, the installation of Cygwin has been successful.

I got this from here

But the result I get is:

What is wrong or missing with my installation.

Follow up question:

I wanted to use the terminal window in netbeans that is why I installed this. In this terminal widnow I also have problem. I cant type anything on it. Is this the reason for it?

Try to run /usr/bin/g++. If it is not found, then you don't have g++ installed (installation may have had problems).

You can follow the same procedure for the rest of your commands

If /usr/bin/g++ runs successfully, it means you don't have /usr/bin in your PATH (which is very unlikely). You can put that in your PATH in your startup file.
