    I think your PATH might have overflowed. Type PATH in a command prompt and tell us the result. There's probably tons of useless crap and duplicate entries in there.

     C:\Users\J>PATH=C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Shared;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files (x86)\GtkSharp\2.12\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Users\J\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts\;C:\Users\J\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\

     

    that is the output

    It looks like you didn't add MinGW to the path. It needs to be in there.

    Also, you need to add Python 2 to the path, not Python 3. Python 3 will not work.

    I have heard that MinGW no longer functions for many people. You could try continuing, if it fails you may have to use Visual Studio instead.

    Try this in a command prompt:

    setx PATH "C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%"

    Then close the prompt and open a new one. That should fix it.

     

    Also, if any of your programs stops working after you do this, just bump this thread. It shouldn't happen, but meh.

    So does it work now? mingw and scons and all that? And by bumping the thread I meant tell us.
