[SOLVED] MinGW installation problem need help

[vead]

Hello
I was trying to install WinGW but I am facing some problem

I am following this link. http://www.codebind.com/cprogramming/install-mingw-windows-10-gcc/

Please look at attached screen shot and tell me whats problem?

I would expect a different order on the command arguments issued from what you did, as :

gcc hello.c -o hello

gcc hello.c -o hello

I tried that command but its not working. Showing same error

The most likely suspect...don't use directories with spaces in them Mr embedded is probably the issue. work with your code in a directory that has no spaces.

Mr embedded is my system name. I don't think it does matter. I think there may be problem in path variable. if you see given link there is step for path variable. but when I click on edit button I don't see new window

gcc is executed, obviously the path is O.K. (unless you're starting a different gcc instance than the intended in mingw bin directory).

The above error message clearly indicates the OS is finding the gcc.exe executable just fine. What the OS is not finding is the hello.c file on your desktop.

Execute the following command and post results:

gcc -v

I have attached result please look at image

I've examined the results and compared your results with mine.

The only major difference, apart from the make and version number, is the COLLECT_GCC environmental variable:

yours

COLLECT_GCC=gcc

mine

COLLECT_GCC=C:\MinGW\bin\gcc

Although, I doubt that is the issue. What is the specific location, i.e., directory path, of your hello.c file?

directory path C:\MinGW\bin I have created hello.c file on desktop

 

[bigdogguru]

I have created hello.c file on desktop

Please execute the following command from the command window:

dir -l hello.c

Post a screen capture of the result.

This is screen shot

Obviously, the hello.c file is either not located in the current directory:

C:\Users\Mr Embedded\

Or the full file name is NOT:

hello.c

Execute the command:

dir /p

Carefully look for the C source file, double check there is not an extra extension like, hello.c.txt.

If no file is found in the current directory you will need to locate the specific directory which contains the C source file and then CD to the proper directory.

By the way, the current command window is not currently in the Desktop directory.

Problem resolved, There was wrong file hello.c.txt. I have corrected it. Now I can compile program
Thank you very much BigDog

Unfortunately, it is a common issue encountered on Windows OS environments, users open source files in text editors like Notepad which add the txt extension to the file by default when saved.
