Sounds like you didn't install the Cygwin compiler. There are quite a few posts about that here, try searching for them.

Have a search on the forum here. There are some lengthy posts about it. When downloading Cygwin you might not have got all of it, you need to compiling tools (eg. make, gcc etc.). Someone else had a similar problem, read what happened to him.

Hard to say from your description. Can you post what you entered, and what it replied?

Usually after compiling you do this (in the Cygwin shell window) ...


cd ../area
../src/smaug

You want to type ../src/smaug, no cd :)

Quite right. "cd" is "change directory". You can't change directory to a .exe file.

I didn't have 'cd' in the second line of my instructions.
