You do know how to edit/modify the environment variables on your Windows computer using the System applet (<Windows><break> key) or using the `set' command, don't you? You can also use the object libraries in other applications by including them in your linker search list in a `make' file. When you compile C or C++ programs you can use the developer header (.h) files. >> << The easiest way to use the tools is to add them to your search path using the `PATH' environment variable, usually by prepending the /bin folder to your PATH variable.>> Thank you! I eventually figured out how to use the standard Windows XP tools to do this. The exercise also clued me in on a number of related things. Apparently the "set" command is roughly equivalent to "set" in Linux. I finally found out that APPENDING the /bin/folder to the PATH worked. << You do know how to edit/modify the environment variables on your Windows computer using the System applet (<Windows><break> key) or using the `set' command, don't you?>> There is no "<Windows><break> key" on my keyboard. I suppose that's a bit odd, given that the keyboard is labeled "Microsoft" and is roughly six years old. Any suggestions as to how I might access this function? <<You can also use the object libraries in other applications by including them in your linker search list in a `make' file.

Remember that I'm a newbie as to Gnu Windows stuff, but I have plenty of experience as a simple user of Unix/Linux stuff going back some 30 years (almost always as a user; rarely as a programmer). I'm not trying to compile stuff at this point; only trying to install various GNU programs.
