therefore I have downloaded Cygwin. But How do I integrate Cygwin with
Eclipse??

Thanks I am not quite sure aobut this part:

"After completing the Cygwin installation, add the location of cygwin.dll to
your PATH environment variable. Right-click "My Computer", choose
"properties", click the "advanced" tab, and then the "Environment Variables"
button. At the end of your existing path information, add ";c:cygwinin" (if
that's where you put it)."

Under "Environment Variables" I both have "Uservariables" and
"Systemvariables". They both have a path (though path in uservariables is
typed in Uppercases). Which do I need to change? And I am not sure what I
need to add - I don

The systempath is set for all users, the userpath only for the special
user. Normally I would prefer the system path, so that it works for all
users.

Surely it had been "c:cygwin\bin" and the sign ist a translated form of
'\b'.

I think there also is a slash missing, should be "c:/cygwin/bin"" or
"c:\cygwin\bin". It is better to use forward slash!
