<h1>Before you begin</h1>
<h2>Utilities</h2>
<p>You must install and configure the following utilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>Build (such as <tt>make</tt>).</li>
<li>Compile (such as gcc). For more information, see <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org">http://gcc.gnu.org</a>.</li>
<li>Debug (such as gdb). For more information, see <a href="http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/">http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Tip:</b> Cygwin contains these utilities for a Windows environment.
For more information, see <a href="http://www.cygwin.com">http://www.cygwin.com</a>.
</p>
<p>To test if cygwin was installed correctly open a command prompt and type <tt>g++</tt> or <tt>make</tt>.</p>
<p>The following error message means that no <tt>make</tt> is installed or your path is not configured correctly.</p>
<pre>'g++' (or 'make') is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file</pre>
<p>To check your path open a command prompt and type <tt>PATH</tt>. Make sure that the path to your build utility is defined (example <tt>PATH=c:\cygwin\bin</tt>).<p>
<h2>Build Automatically</h2>
<p>For C/C++ projects this feature should be turned off, otherwise builds will be performed whenever a file is saved, including makefiles and header files. </p>
<p>Click <b>Projects</b> from the menubar and ensure there is no checkmark beside <b>Build Automatically</b> if there is one click <b>Build Automatically</b> to deselect it. </p>
