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?

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
mp --disable-win32-registry --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-version-specific-r
untime-libs --build=mingw32 --prefix=/mingw
Thread model: win32
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
