How do you add the PGPLOT library? I'm specifically coding in C, using Cygwin64 as the runtime environment, gcc as the compiler, and Windows 7 as the computer operating system.
I'm trying to get the PGPLOT 5.2 library found here:

Thanks in advance!
As the cygwin package is not present you need to compile and install it,
by yourself

I am new to C programming.
I was trying to use the pthread API to write some concurrent program.
I downloaded eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, MinGW. I have put all the library, header files into the corresponding location of the MinGW file.
When I tried to build the project, there is always an error "cannot find -lpthread", what happened?
I have added the "-pthread" to the GCC compiler.
I have searched a lot in Google but seems no one have similar problem as me.
The answer to this question by someone who is also missing MinGW pthread library should help you out! Essentially the issue is that the MinGW installer script might not download the lpthread library upon installation. Quoted from link:
Just run and open MinGW Installation Manager, which should be pre-installed with MinGW, select "All Packages" on the left panel, and on the right panel, search for "mingw32-pthreads-w32" packages and install them.
I downloaded eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, MinGW.
MingGW uses the Windows API. The Windows API does not provide PThreads.
You need to install PThreads for Win32 to have PThreads available under Windows, and with this available under MinGW.
Eclipse is not configured to put the -pthread argument in the gcc compilation. To solve this, go to the Menu:
view sourceprint?
1.Project -> Properties
From the bar on the left:
view sourceprint?
1.c/c++ build -> GCC C Compiler -> Miscellaneous
Add the “-pthread” argument into the beginning of the “Other Flags” Also go to:
view sourceprint?
1.c/c++ build -> Settings -> GCC C Linker -> Libraries
And include the “pthread”library into the other libraries. Click Apply and rebuild the project. Pthreads must work now.
See the question on mingw.org. I ended up with adding 'C:/cygwin/lib' to the settings for the "Library search path (-L)" at properties >> c/c++ build >> settings >> MinGW C Linker >> Libraries.
This is what i currently have installed on my home computer:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers-includes-incubating-components/indigosr2
Now, that was a pain to setup because you needed to use Cygwin to install a bunch of stuff in order for Eclipse to compile and run a C project. I found this the other day:
http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/
Does Eclipse CDT come with everything it needs to compile and run a C program or does it still depend on external files? Does it come with a standard library?
You do not have to use Cygwin and you can use alternatives such as mingw (it is simpler for most people to install). Checkout this tutorial for detailed description how to setup on Windows:
http://www.banym.de/eclipse/install-eclipse-cdt-on-windows-7
Compiler is responsible for standard library and in the case mentioned above it is mingw.

I want to be able to develop in C using the Netbeans IDE in my Windows environment, but can't figure out how to install the standard library headers for C on a Windows machine.
Google searches offered no success.
Tips?
Thanks.
If you want POSIX support and are used to programming in a Linux environment, take a look at Cygwin, which uses the newlib C library. Otherwise you're probably looking for MinGW, which compiles against the Microsoft C run-time library.
Both Cygwin and MinGW provide their own set of headers for the standard C library.
Developing with Cygwin will require its libraries to be installed on client machines. However, you can build with the mno-cygwin compiler flag to instead use the MinGW-32 headers and runtime libraries.
MinGW binaries should run on Windows clients without installing any extra libraries.
How can I install the C library in MinGW?
I always get some error like when I want to run some scripts:
Cannot find <clang-c/Index.h>
Please ensure libClang is installed
How do I fix this problem?
That library is available from the LLVM project. clang is a "a C language family frontend for LLVM." I don't believe they make binary releases yet. So, you would need to check out the code using Subversion (SVN), and then build the library yourself under minGW. Please refer to the "Getting Started: Building and Running Clang" page for detailed instructions.
I've downloaded Eclipse C/C++ IDE . I need to run a simple c program in this(To print welcome).
While trying to run the program its popping up an error message like "Launch failed: Binary not found" .
Need i install any compiler package. ?
Please help me to do this.
Yes, you have to install a compiler, Eclipse is only an IDE. You can get MinGW here.
http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/
Look at the above link,you will get more idea,on how to do development using C/C++ using eclipse.
You can make use of the documentation which comes along with the IDE.
Just on the start up window in Eclipse click Tutorials and then click on c/c++ development link and then read Before you Begin part.
The program you write must be converted into respective binary which is to be run on that particular architecture.This process is carried out by the compiler as a result compiler is required for eclipse IDE to compile and link the code .
Various compilers are available such as Microsoft Visual C++ MinGW GCC or Cygwin GCC in the form of chaintools in eclipse so as to compile the code.
Eclipse is an IDE.It will help you write applications in c/++,but it will not compile your program as Eclipse does not comes with a compiler pre-configured.
You need to install a compiler to run your application.
Eclipse is capable to use many c/c++ compilers,some are:
1.Cygwin
2.MingW
3.Gross
4.Microsoft Visual C++
I would advise to install mingW OR Cygwin.
