Need help with compile error

help

I have just installed Rust and create the first program "Hello World". When I compile it, I got below error with gcc. I use Windows 10 64 bits with Cygwin. Please tell me how to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

I think it would be helpful to know what version of rust (rustc --version) and how you installed rust (did you use rustup, for example)

The version is

Thang@Thang-Laptop ~/rust_projects/hello_world
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.21.0 (3b72af97e 2017-10-09)

I installed by ran the install command on cygwin

Thang@Thang-Laptop ~/rust_projects/hello_world
$ curl -sSf https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh
rustup: gpg not available. signatures will not be verified

    Rust is ready to roll.

I did install MinGW on Windows directly then I recognized that I should install from cygwin package, so I installed on Cygwin then uninstall MinGW.

Thank you.
