The cc command doesn't work

  • PlagueGiver     25th Jan 2014 Member 0 Permalink

    I followed the instructions in https://powdertoy.co.uk/Wiki/W/Compiling_for_Windows_with_scons.html#Add_variables_to_Path word for word, but when I put cc into git bash, it says "cc: command not found". python -h works, (I'm a Python programmer, so I had Python before this) and scons.py also works. Please tell me what I'm  doing wrong.

    Try looking in C:/MinGW/bin. That's where cc.exe should be, along with a bunch of other things. Is anything in there? Maybe MinGW installed incorrectly, the installer was redone and the guide hasn't been updated to say which specific packages you need.

    The only thing in the bin is mingw-get. Should I reinstall?

    It should have installed something called MinGW Installation manager, i'll try to figure out what you need

    Edit: Install mostly anything that looks good I guess :p, but specifically cc.exe is provided by the bin version of mingw32-gcc. You might also need the dev version I don't know. Get mingw32-binutils too. Not sure if you need anything else, we will see. I found all these under the MinGW Base system category.

    I got all the C compiler, C++, FORTRAN, and bzip2. Taking a while to install, hopefully it works :)

     

    I'm on my FIFTH reinstall! :(

     

    I give up. No mingw for me :(
