Programming and Scripting Languages

Downloading and installing the Cygwin tools gives the Windows user access to a large number of GNU development tools, including the C/C++ compiler in gcc, a Fortran-77 compiler g77, Perl, and the GNU debugger gdb. This page serves as the launching point for getting started in using some of these tools.

Of course, use of any of the tools described in pages linked to this one requires the successful installation of the Cygwin tools. There are free tools available which do not require Cygwin, however, and they will be described in the future.
