Installing cygwin with compilers and development packages

Question

I need to compile kannel for windows and I installed cygwin. It says I don't have compilers to compile with cygwin. How do I resolve this ? Is there any full-featured cygwin image available anywhere on the internet ?

Please help. SOS!

I'm following this tutorial to compile kannel with cygwin.

It looks like Kannel is written in C, so you probably just need to install make, gcc, and so on; these aren't included in the base Cygwin install, so you need to re-run the installer and make sure you select those packages. See the Cygwin FAQ.
