Im using Cygwin and I need to install a g++ compiler, so I tried with apt-cyg.
It returns an error that happens with some packages but not with others. For instance, I could install git package, which I found in blogs that talk about this topic to try it as an example. However, when trying g++:
$ apt-cyg install g++
Installing g++
Unable to locate package g++What is going on?
Solution
First, I would suggest you use the standard Cygwin setup-x86_64.exe (or its 32-bit version if appropriate) rather than apt-cyg. Scanning the "Devel" category in setup, you will see a package gcc-g++, which is what you want.
