This is what I get everytime after typing make clean then make:

Compiling o/imc.o....
make[1]: g++: Command not found
make[1]: *** [o.imc.o] Error 127
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Cygwin multiple times making sure to follow all the tutorials recommended in these forums to add the right packages (gcc, g++, make, etc.). I got the file extracted and everything it is just a matter of compiling. I also went into the Makefile using Dev-c++ to uncomment the line suggested for compiling with Cygwin. Do I need to somehow open this file in Cygwin to edit it? If so, what commands do u type to access/edit the Makefile in Cygwin. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have spent many hours trying to figure this out without bothering you guys.

Thanks!

Any chance there could be something else that might cause this? I have seen that part of the forum and browsed it religiously attempting to find solutions. I also reinstalled cygwin 3 or 4 times now making sure I have all of those packages included.

That's Cygwin telling you that g++ isn't installed. .........................

There's a good step-by-step Cygwin install instructions at the end of this thread;

There's also really no need to 'make clean' before 'make' unless you've changed any of the .c files, which, if this is your first time compiling the MUD you probably shouldn't change anything yet.
Do all the other files compile and it just stops at the imc file? Maybe you should show your complete make results. .........................

Imc is normally the first file it compiles

I'd have to say Kayle has that one pegged with g++ isn't installed. .........................

I guess I can just try to reinstall it again...when I go into my cygwin install file everytime that includes gcc or g++ I have made sure to install. I guess maybe my computer isn't compatible, unless ther is something I have to do to install g++ after I have Cygwin include it in the download/install file.

Thanks though guys.

When you run the Cygwin setup program, you need to make sure that g++ is explicitly selected for installation.
Note that you can rerun the same setup program, and it should add packages intelligently, i.e. without redownloading everything. .........................

Yeah I have done that a few times now and when I reload the setup program it shows everything with gcc or g++ in it as Kept not skipped so that means it's installed right?

If g++ is marked as 'kept' then it should already be installed. If, from the command line, you type just:

g++ --version

what happens? .........................

It says g++-4: no input files found.

It says g++-4? Not g++? .........................

Oh I thought by --version that meant to put in the version number which in this case was 4. If I type in g++ --version it returns with: g++: command not found.

Try these:

whereis g++
whereis g++-4

It sounds like you need to change the g++ reference in the Makefile to g++-4 .........................

You are absolutely right lol. Thanks guys. Feeling a bit stupid for not thinking of that myself, but nonetheless appreciate your help!
