title: g++ not working on Windows command prompt. Cygwin installed
body: <p>I have installed Eclipse and CDT (to use C/C++ in eclipse CDT is needed), as well as installing Cygwin so that I can compile my files.</p>
  
  <p>In environment variables I've set Path to include the following: "C:\cygwin\bin;"</p>
  
  <p>g++, make and GDC are all installed via Cygwin. I made sure of this by searching for them in the bin folder - they're all there.</p>
  
  <p>If I enter "make" into the windows command prompt, this appears:</p>
  
  <pre><code>make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I enter "g++" or "gdc" into the windows command prompt, this appears (or similar):</p>
  
  <pre><code>'g++' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
  operable program or batch file.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So, in other words make is working but the rest isn't..but they're in the same bin folder! Has got me completely confused.</p>
  
  <p>If I attempt to open Cygwin Bash Shell, g++, make and GDC all work there.</p>
  
  <p>However, I need it to work in the command prompt so that Eclipse is able to compile the programs I write in the IDE.</p>
  
  <p>If you know why this is happening, please let me know.</p>
