Don't post half of the question in the subject and half in the body of
the message.
I think there are other options of having a C compiler on your machine as
well: Visual C++ compiler (which compiles C if you change the file
extension to .c from .cpp), djgpp, mingw gcc. Given my not so good
experience with cygwin, I would rather switch to Linux or use Linux in a
virtual machine under Windows (I use Windows in a virtual machine under
Linux :D). An open source virtual machine (bought by SUN it seems) is
Innotek's Virtual Box. I think vmware is kind of free, also.

For Windows XP, you can download VC++ 2008 Express Edition for free, and
use it to learn C95.

That is, Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition.

Perhaps. It depends on your requirements doesn't it? To you need a full
UNIX environment? If not then you might consider MinGW+Msys instead of
Cygwin. MinGW can produce standalone Windows executables that don't
depend on an emulation library, however you cannot write UNIX programs
with it and run them under Windows; for that you'll need Cygwin.
Another option is DJGPP, if you want to be able to run under DOS as well
as Windows. There are also other Windows specific compilers like
PellesC and lcc-win32 that you might find convenient. Microsoft of
course offers it's own compilers, both crippled "free" downloads as
well as the full Visual Studio suite. There are also a plethora of well
regarded commercial compilers for Windows like Comeau C++, Intel C++
etc.
What you want to use depends on your requirements, which you have not
specified.

How can I make it so that I can pass anything into os.system() any
command that I would type into the command line (bash on cygwin)? For
example, "lower" is a small script of mine that I use frequently, and
I would like to be able to call if from python. os.system("lower")
results in:
lower: not found
I want it to run "lower" just like it would if I typed "lower" at the
bash prompt. How can I do that?

Hello:
I'm running python under cygwin and need to find the drive letter.
Cygwin has a way of calling my drives by a name relative to the Cygwin
directory, so I get things like /home/user rather than
/cygdrive/g/cygwin/home/usr, etc. How can I find the letter of the
drive, or in the above example, the letter 'g'?
My program needs to run on an external media that comes with Cygwin on
it. I have no control over what drive is assigned to...

This is a pretty basic, mostly un-python-related question, although I'm
asking because of Python.
Is there a different shell I can use (other than cmd.com) to run Python
in, where I can full-screen the window (if I pleased), etc? As it is,
things that would run far off the right have to be word wrapped after
very few characters.
Another problem with cmd.com is when I run IPython, if I have an error,

Can you please let me know the procedure to reach db2 command prompt

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
