Ron, thanks for the reply, I followed this guide and I am not sure if it's all set up correctly as some of the guide is very unclear and very confusing
Which guide? We have at least two here that I know of?Quote
but I have everything installed and im on windows 8.1 and gcc should be in all the paths so im a bit confused about it all as to why it won't find gcc.exe
Saying it should isn't enough. One should be able to "inject a line" anywhere in any batch file like this:gcc -v
and you should see this response:
Code:
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=c:/mingw/bin/../libexec/gcc/mingw32/4.6.2/lto-wrapper.exe
Target: mingw32
Configured with: ../gcc-4.6.2/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,ada,fortran,obj
c,obj-c++ --disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-dwarf2 --enable-shared --enable-libgo

untime-libs --build=mingw32 --prefix=/mingw

gcc version 4.6.2 (GCC)
Or some such. Where the version, model, etc. may vary. If you don't see that then you have to find out why. And fix it COLLECT_GCC=gcc
