a problem with cygwin

[sworc66]

Hi,
Ive just installed cygwin on my comp so that i can compile my C programs with it. Heres the problem im getting:

my test code:

#include <stdio.h>


main()

{
printf("SOMETHING.\n");
}

heres the error cygwin gives me:

$ gcc -o test test.c
test.c:6:5: warning: no newline at end of file
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot fi
nd -luser32
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Can anyone help? btw if you hadnt noticed im very new to C.. lol.

Thanks

Why do you guys do 'main'? Its 'int main()'. Seriously, what book teaches you that?

Add a 'return 0; at the end of the function.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("SOMETHING.\n"); 

    return 0;
}

I believe GCC makes you push enter at the end of your code. Insert a blank line after your last bracket.

ok i changed the code to what you said, and im getting this back:

$ gcc -o test test.c
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot fi
nd -luser32
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


any ideas on why and what i need to do to fix it?

that is a linker error, do you have the win32 equivlent of glib? it is compiling fine, just not linking.

all i have done is download cygwin and install it... i really dont know what i have got and what i havent... how do i find out? Sorry im really dumb. lol

When you were installing cygwin, did select all the packages in the Development (or whatever it's called) group?
