How to compile C program on command line using MinGW?
It indicates it couldn't find gcc.exe.
I have a path environment variable set to where MinGW is installed
Maybe you haven't set the path correctly?
echo %path%shows the path to gcc.exe? Otherwise, compilation is similar to Unix:
gcc filename.c -o filename
I've had this problem and couldn't find why it kept happening. The reason is simple: Once you have set up the environment paths, you have to close the CMD window, and open it again for it be aware of new environment paths.
First:
Add your minGW's bin folder directory ( ex: C\mingw64\bin ) in System variables => Path. visual example
Compile:
.c: gcc filename.c -o desire
.cpp: g++ filename.cpp -o desire
Run:
desire/ or ./desire
