Can't install gcc with cygwin on Windows 10
After installing cygwin on Windows 10, I tried to install gcc by
cd C:cygwin
C:cygwinsetup-x86_64.exe -q -P wget -P gcc-g++ -P make -P diffutils -P libmpfr-devel -P libgmp-devel -P libmpc-devel
as suggested here How to Install the Latest GCC on Windows.
But after executing the command I get this error:
"This app can't run on your pc"
Has anyone else had this problem and know how to solve it?

I have no problem installing gcc within cygwin on my Windows 10 machine. This error mean something else entirely.. The file you are running at the command prompt is a Windows executable you do realize that right?

Are you running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 10? Based on the cause of the error, I am going to guess, your trying to run a 64-bit installer on a 32-bit version of Windows 10.

This app can't run on your PC
cd C:cygwin
cd C:cygwinsetup-x86_64.exe -q -P wget -P gcc-g++ -P make -P diffutils -P libmpfr-devel -P libgmp-devel -P libmpc-devel
The above command makes no sense. It shouldn't start with cd as you are already in the correct directory.
Try the following commands (which work here):
cd C:cygwin
setup-x86_64.exe -q -P wget -P gcc-g++ -P make -P diffutils -P libmpfr-devel -P libgmp-devel -P libmpc-devel
Note:
This assumes you have a 64 bit version of Windows.
If you have a 32 version of Windows you need to download the 32 bit version of Cygwin, which has a different installer.
The most recent version of the Cygwin DLL is 2.5.0. Install it by running setup-x86.exe (32-bit installation) or setup-x86_64.exe (64-bit installation).

I have cygwin 6.1 installed on my Windows 7 64 bit, it says gcc-core and gcc-g++ had download errors as can be seen in this image. I suppose this is because my proxy server requires authentication. Where do I specify username and password for the proxy for cygwin setup? (Today only I installed python3 on cygwin and it did not gave any such error, so I was guessing what might have gone wrong, but I still feel its proxy authentication.)

@Mahesha999 See Chapter 2. Setting Up Cygwin "Connection Method - The Direct Connection method of downloading will directly connect. If your system is configured to use a proxy server or auto-configuration scripts, the Use System Proxy Settings method uses those settings. Alternatively, you can manually enter proxy settings into the Use HTTP/FTP Proxy section. "
