how to use MinGW to compile an executable, from C or C++ source, in a command prompt environment. First you must make sure you mingw shell have installed MinGW and set the PATH environment variable include the location

of MinGW; this is explained Here. Now, assuming your directory for MinGW is the default "C:\MinGW", and your PATH mingw gcc command not found environment variable is set to include "C:\MinGW\bin", it is easy to start compiling an executable: Open a command prompt window, and set the current directory to wherever your *.c or
Mingw-get
*.cpp file is. Example: For the file helloworld.cpp in the folder C:\sources\hello enter the commands cd c:\sources\hello Now type the compile command g++ helloworld.cpp -o helloworld.exe The -o switch specifies the name of the output file, without it the output file would be given a default name of "a.exe". If there are any errors in the source file the command line will how to use mingw notify you and direct you to the line where the error is Say you had forgotten to add an extra line at the end of your source file (an easy mistake when moving from an environment such as Microsoft Visual C++) and you missed the ; at the end of the last statement. You will get a message similar to this: helloworld.cpp: In function 'int main()': helloworld.cpp:4: error: expected ';' before '}' token helloworld.cpp:5:2: warning: no new line at end of file Which describes both the positions of errors/warnings and the problem. I.e, for the missing ";" the error is on line 4, so check your source file at line 4 for the error. When compiling more than one cpp file, list the names of files after the g++ command and before the -o switch. g++ helloworld.cpp foo.cpp -o helloworld.exe Note: if your source is in C, rather than C++, your source files will be "helloworld.c", "foo.c", etc., and you would use the "gcc" command, rather than the "g++" command; otherwise the procedure is similar to the above. Whilst still in the command prompt
