C compiler for windows 2

[blues77]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a c compiler (like gcc) that I can use in a windows environment. I was told about MinGW but I'm having trouble setting it up. After I install it and ensue a gcc command from the command prompt it says that it doesn;t recognize the command. I'm very new to this and any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

You should get dev-c++, which is the mingw compiler and an IDE wrapped around it to give you that nice windows feel to it.

Hi Salem,

I'm trying to add an additional directory for the C includes under the compiler options window. However, the only option I have is to delete the entry that is currently there (c:\dec-cpp\include) The Add button is greyed out. How do I go about adding an additional directories since I have some header files in other dirs that I need.

Thanks for your help

You may use LCC compiler for windows.

A C (and C++) compiler IDE that uses Mingw as its back-end, which in my opinion is better than Dev-C++, is Mingw Studio.

It is free and basically clones the VC++6 IDE.
