make: *** [primer.o] Error 127
 

Hi im trying to study some opengl related programming and im using a cygwin compiler. When i compile my program i receive the following error:

gcc -c primer.c
make: gcc: Command not found
make: *** [primer.o] Error 127

Previously when i had XP OS, i was able to compile and execute the same program . Now i have Vista and i don't know to make this working (im not sure that the OS is the problem, but i ques ).

Please someone help :)

cygwin is not a compiler it is a sort of an emulation environment. My guess is that you didn't install gcc in it. Restart the cygwin setup and select the gcc packages....
