C++ Not Installed In Cygwin

I just installed Cygwin and can launch a bash shell from windows, do ls, emacs, vi , etc. However, when I do g++ it says command not found.

I thought g++ was installed by default in Cygwin? If that's not the case, what are the exact categories under which I can add g++ as a package to my cygwin?

It's a good idea to just install everything with CygWin. When you run setup, just click on the circular icon at the top level until it reads "Full" rather then "Default" - that will install all the packages.

I've sometimes had trouble installing single packages due to dependencies but a full install is not affected by that same problem.

Disk space is cheap, your time spent trying to figure out why things don't work is not.

Did you install the Devel packages?

I would suggest you read this tutorial to get up and running.
