You can capture all output from g++ with:

  g++ c:/test.cpp -o test >gpp.out  2>&1

Now all output will go to gpp.out file, which you can view with
your editor of choice.

Also, you can increase the screen buffer of the 'bash' window,
and scroll through the errors: right-click on the title bar -> Properties ->
Layout -> set screen buffer height to e.g. 3000.

Your installation of g++ is incomplete. You better re-install it.

PATH variable has absolutely nothing to do with libraries, and
libraries have absolutely nothing to do with your problem.
