how to install gcc on cygwin ?

simply Installing only cygwin in windows doesnt recognize the some of the linux commands, recently i wanted to run GCC, and GDB on CYGWIN but could not able to run Individual packages like bash, gcc, less, etc. because they are released independently of the CYGWIN DLL. below are the steps on how to install the other packages

Step1: First of all download the CYGWIN installation package from Here


Step2: Select the default location


Step3:Now make sure to select Devel as show in the below PIC


Step4: Now Click on the DEVEL option and now it expands as show in below pic

Step5: Now Click on devel so that it changes to install as shown in below PIC

and click next and setup wizard will guide you until the end of the installation now simply type $ GCC -V in command prompt now you should see the command executing without giving error as shown in below PIC

and if it says command not found you have made a mistake while setup process and not selected option properly
