I’ve literally been on like 10 different boards from stack exchange to all sorts of youtube videos. (Do you guys have a youtubes?) How do you get sublime set up to compile and execute c programs? I will be taking a C++ class here within the month and would like to set that up to…

Your path looks like it’s correct (assuming that c:\cygwin64 is where your copy of Cygwin is installed). Note that if you modify the path while Sublime is running, the change won’t be seen until you restart Sublime.

Have you installed gcc with cygwin? It doesn’t ship out of the box. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47215330/how-do-i-install-gcc-on-cygwin for install instructions
