It looks like your cygwin is missing some sort of time library or have a different version than the one we used in the sample.

Yes, I confirm it works on Ubuntu (in my virtual box) but not on CygWin. It is not so clear how to fix the issue rapidly. I suspect we have to use a completely different lib and make sure it is "portable".

Anyway, you can continue the tutorial with other languages and exercices :-)

The C compiler first targets proper platforms (Linux and micro-controllers). It was a bit ambitious to target Windows directly with this compiler, even through CygWin. I suggest we close that issue, unless it is blocking for anyone (who can reopen it).
