g++ -c -Wall -I "C:/cygwin/usr/include/" test.cpp

Here's the error message:

Any help, I don't understand why python27 directory is checked.

Solution

  • Looks like python27 folder contains mingw - that is cygwin alternative. Probably default headers search path is set to mingw's dir (c:/python27/egg-info/mingw/usr/lib/gcc/../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/).

    Check are following environment variables set:

    CPATH
C_INCLUDE_PATH
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH

    Also you could try to compile with : 1)-nostdinc option to ignore default include dirs 2) -v to verbose g++ output
