On new HP tower G4 workstation with Xeon E2224G processor, Windows 10 pro for wokstations OS build 19042.746.
install netbeans 8.2
Install msys2_64 and mingw64
set path e:\msys64\usr\bin; e:\msys64\mingw64\bin; %PATH%
Verify that make,sh,bash,rm and more are in e:\msys64\usr\bin
configure netbeans for C project and try to clean and build and get this error:
'No shell found. Cannot proceed. Please install either CYGWIN or Msys.'
OK then, install cygwin.
Now get this error:
'1 [main] rm (7980) E:\cygwin64\bin\rm.exe: *** fatal error - cygheap base mismatch detected - 0x180345408/0x180347408.'
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should*
reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.
cygcheck -c gives
base-cygwin 3.8-1 OK
base-files 4.3-2 OK
cygwin 3.1.7-1 OK
I have searched and there is only one cygwin1.dll
frank#FRANK_NEW ~
$ which cygwin1.dll
/usr/bin/cygwin1.dll
I have restarted the machine several times to no avail.
I have been using netbeans and mingw then msys/mingw for about 10 years and
have the combination working on other desktop and laptop machines, but have
not had this problem.
Thanks for the replies above. The problem here is the different ways that PATH is handled by Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Pro for Workstations.
For Win10 Pro
define a user variable 'MSYS_HOME' give it a value of 'E:\msys64\usr\bin'
now put that in the system path i.e.
some system path;%MSYS_HOME%;more system path
Netbeans will find the tools rm, sh, make, etc and complete the clean and build of the project.
for Win10 Pro for Worksations
the above did not work. Netbeans would not build the project and give the error
'No shell found. Cannot proceed. Please install either CYGWIN or Msys.'
the path has to be set in the system path directly i.e.
some system path;E:\msys64\usr\bin;more system path
this made Netbeans work correctly to perform clean and build.

Everytime I try to build and run a program, including the standard 'Hello world!' nothing happens, I get:
==== Program exited with exit code: 0 ====
Time elapsed: 000:00.000 (MM:SS.MS)
Press any key to continue...
At the bottom it says:
'ming32-make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable prgram or batch file.
I have Codelite version 16 on Windows 10. I also have MinGW installed to C: and have edited the Environment variables to include C:\MinGW\bin
However, in command prompt gcc --version shows me the gcc version in C:\Users\me> and not C:\MinGW
I don't know if this is relevant or not.
All the other results seem to suggest a compiler not found problem, but this does not seem to be my case. Thanks in advance.
This is what I have installed at the moment. Can I get 'make'from one of the other files?
The Installed files
Looks like you either don't have ming32-make.exe or it can't be found.
Also I notice you still use old MinGW. I would recommend switching to newer MinGW-w64 (which supports both Windows 32-bit and 64-bit).
The standalone build from https://winlibs.com/ does include ming32-make.exe, and since you can just unzip it (no installation needed) you can try it without removing the old MinGW. Just make sure you don't have anything in your PATH variable to avoid running programs from the wrong location.
ming32-make.exe is either not installed or can't be found on your Environment variable PATH.
No, there is no mingw32-make in that bin folder. When I used the Installer originally I only selected: mingw32-gcc-g++-bin although there were other bin files. Where can I get it?
mingw32-make is outdated.
See How to compile makefile using MinGW?
If you are having problems with mingw, I would recommend using MSYS2 or a package manager like Chocolatey.
Just get rid of the previous installation first. Not mandatory but prevents confusion and storage drain due to multiple copies of mingw.
To install MinGw using chocolatey, run cmd as admin and use
choco install mingw
For make
choco install make
What worked for me was also installing mingw32-base-bin from the Installer (see second option in image in the original question).
The installation tutorial I was following did not mention installing this.
I've decided to leave this here as an answer in case someone else runs into a similar problem.
MSYS is a good option for compilers in recent CodeLite or VS-Code installation. https://www.msys2.org/.
Once you downloaded the compiler using the following steps from the installer but still have the problem with the make then follow these steps:
Reopen the MSYS2 terminal from your windows if that is previously installed.
Run the command pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
You will be asked to select the option from the list. You should select the option which refers to mingw-w64-x86_64-make.
Once the installation is successfully done, then open CodeLite settings->Buid Settings and check your Make file location. If that is empty or showing an unknown location then click the three dots at the very right of that box. The browse and navigate to location or where you installed the make by pacman. In my case it is C:/msys64/usr/bin/make.exe.
Click Apply and Save.
Now it might be needed to create a fresh workspace and re-run your code.
I'm trying to use valgrind with clion in my windows machine. I've gone through the steps of setting up WSL and valgrind on windows.
Although when I try to 'run with valgrind memcheck' in my 'UnixAssembler' project I get the following error:
Error running 'UnixAssembler': File not found: /cygdrive/c/Users/natan/Desktop/UnixAssembler/cmake-build-debug/UnixAssembler.exe
The actual exe is located in c/Users/natan/Desktop/UnixAssembler/cmake-build-debug/UnixAssembler.exe, so I don't know why It's looking in this cygdrive folder.
I'm not sure what to try from here onwards. Any ideas?
Solved:
- Go to File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment
- Remove any Toolchains other than WSL (making WSL the default will probably work as well)
- Profit
I am very new to coding (trying to teach myself C). I have some experience with MatLab, but I understand it is very different from C. I have Windows 10 with the newest version of Visual Studio Code (VSC) with the Run Code Extension and git extension (not sure what git does, but VSC prompted me to install). I am now familiar with the text editor, but do not know how to compile/run my code (apologies if I'm butchering the terminology, again, a newby). One friend recommended I determine the location in which the desired text file is located, type "gcc filename.c", enter, type "./a.out", and then the program should run. (Said friend has a Mac and I supposed the execution commands are different?) Regardless, I encountered "Run Code" extension on my google adventures and follow the steps I've seen online, but I am still getting the error pictured.
I can see how this would be an especially basic question, but if anyone can offer assistance/advice, I would be extremely grateful!
Thanks, All.

P.S. In case the image doesn't load/work for whatever reason, this is the error:
"'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
Works perfect in Visual Code. You need the following:
C/C++ extension in Visual Code.
msys64 installed in C:\
Add path to msys64 bin folder in environment variable
Instructions:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools
Important the msys64 path doesn't contain spaces so don't install it in Program Files.
You can search "Edit system environment variables" from the windows button, press button Environment Variables, and then add it as a System variable "Path". For me its located in
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin
Hey,,,
It will work for you I believe
Blockquote
First: open the link: https://www.msys2.org/
Go to the installation and download the installer .. install the exe file.
search mingw in windows search(windows start)
there is an app named--> MSYS2 MinGW {64/32}-bit
run it as administrator
Found command shell ---> type: pacman -Syu
Will ask you for some installation click on Y
Then again go to the same app MSYS2 MinGW {64/32}-bit and run as admin
and write--> pacman -Ss gcc (in shell that opend after click)
after clicking there will be bunch of things and now you have to care about your windows arch.. if it is 64 bit then write---> pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc (and if its 32 you will find something like that where 64 will replaced by 32 in bunch of commands that are showing in your shell)
after executing this command gcc will be installed in your system to check write: gcc --version || g++ --version
After that to install the debugger write pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb
to check write: gdb --version
**Every thing got installed in your system now find the mingW file or mysys2 file on C drive(whereever you r mingW file got saved) go the the minGW 64 || 32 accroding to your operating system there is a bin folder click on that and copy the path inside the bin folder and save it in environment variables path **

Enjoy vs code
My recommendation
You are on Windows right? So you can just install Visual Studio IDE (follow this tutorial). Which is better than vs code. This tutorial is for C++ but it works for C as well. Because C++ uses the same compiler as C but with some more things(simple explanation).
The solution for your problem
You are getting the massage 'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file because you do not have the gcc compiler installed on your computer. But if you want to install it, you can follow this tutorial. But I highly recommend you use Visual Studio IDE which I mentioned above.
Type gcc --version in the command prompt to check whether the C compiler is installed in your machine.
If it is installed then try adding gcc to the environment variables using this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLh84CmdBJ0
If it is not installed then install it using instructions using this link:
https://www.guru99.com/c-gcc-install.html
and then add it to the environment variables using the link above.
If it is installed and not recognized by VSCode then try to run VSCode from CMD by typing code in CMD.
When I try to add it to sources as per debian install instructions I get this error. I'm guessing this means that there are no arm packages for it.
Failed to fetch https://dist.crystal-lang.org/apt/dists/crystal/InRelease Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-armhf/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
I'm guessing I probably need to install it from source. How would I go about doing that with an arm cpu? When I check it out and run make I get the error:
You need to have a crystal executable in your path! Makefile:113:
recipe for target '.build/crystal' failed make: *** [.build/crystal]
Error 1
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: There's now a semi-official repository for crystal on raspbian, check it out here: http://public.portalier.com/raspbian
Crystal doesn't build Debian packages for ARM, and you're correct in that you'll need to build from source.
However, the Crystal compiler is written in Crystal. This presents the obvious problem of how to get a compiler to build the compiler. The answer is cross-compilation: building an arm binary on a x86 desktop computer and copying it across.
Here's a quick step-by-step based on my memory of last time I cross-compiled:
Install Crystal on a x86 desktop PC, and check it works.
Install all required libraries on the desktop and Raspberry Pi. You'll need the same LLVM version on the Raspberry Pi and desktop. This is probably the hardest and longest step. You can install llvm 3.9 from debian testing for ARM, see this stackoverflow post for how to install only LLVM from debian testing.
Check out the sources from git on both computers, and run make deps.
Cross-compile the compiler by running this command in the root of the git repository:
./bin/crystal build src/compiler/crystal.cr --cross-compile --target arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf --release -s -D without_openssl -D without_zlib
This command will create a crystal.o file in your current directory, and also output a linker command (cc crystal.o -o crystal ...).
Copy crystal.o to the raspberry pi, and run the linker command. Be sure to edit the absolute path to llvm_ext.o so that it points to the Crystal checkout on your Raspberry Pi, not the checkout on your desktop. Also make sure that all references to llvm-config in the command are for the correct LLVM version. For example, changing /usr/local/bin/llvm-config to llvm-config-3.9 on Raspbian.
Run the crystal executable in your current directory (./crystal -v) and make sure it works.
Ensure to set CRYSTAL_PATH environment variable is set to lib:/path/to/crystal/source/checkout/src so that the compiler can find the standard library when compiling applications.
Please note: Although I'm specifically talking about the Eclipse CDT plugin, I'm almost 100% confident that any Windows/C/MinGW programmer can answer this question.
I'm on Windows 7 and am trying to write and compile a simple "Hello, C!" C application using Eclipse's CDT plugin. I'm reading their docs which state that having GCC installed is a prerequisite.
I just installed MinGW, making sure to include the following packages:
mingw-developer-toolkit
mingw32-base
mingw32-gcc-g++
msys-base
Back in the CDT docs (under the section titled Windows configuration), it states that I need to add g++, make and GDB to my PATH.
I'm wondering where MinGW installs these utilities, so that I can add them to my system PATH, and make the Eclipse CDT recognize their location at startup.
When using the Eclipse CDT plugin, you need GCC and its 3 specific utilities installed locally. These three utilities are: g++, make and gdb.
On Windows you can choose to install these utilities via Cygwin or MinGW. For a MinGW-based solution, go to their site and download the MinGW Package Manager. Then open the manager and install the following packages:
mingw-developer-toolkit
mingw32-base
mingw32-gcc-g++
msys-base
Then go to File >> Apply Updates and apply them. This will install the 3 utilities to the following directories on your machine:
C:\MinGW\bin\g++
C:\MinGW\bin\gdb
C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\make
Add these 3 binaries to your system PATH, restart Eclipse and you are all set.
