Recently I started coding in C and I tried to find a way to compile with notepad++. After thouroughly installing minGW with some basic upgrades I tried to use a specific code that allows me to compile.
This code is can be found on thise webpage:
http://www.thecrazyprogrammer.com/2015/08/configure-notepad-to-run-c-cpp-and-java-programs.html
So you can see what I am trying to do.
However when I try to execute the command, it gives me the warning that several .dll files are missing.
These are the ones: libgmp-10.dll ; libiconv-2.dll ; libmpc-3.dll and libmpfr-4.dll
After some research, I added those files to the bin, lib and libexec folders of the minGW headfolder and it resulted in giving me another missing lib file:
libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
Ok I added that one too and now it starts over saying it is missing libiconv-2.dll
I added all the folders to my PATH and there is nothing else I can think of that is wrong =(
If u find a solution, please explain it in detail since I am not a programmer and only have little experience with going this 'deep' into files and paths etc ...
Thanks in advance!
Oh I found it myself I think.
I read somewhere that using gcc in stead of g++ could help and after copying the missing files to a bunch of folders it worked :D

I am currently trying to set up CLion, as I like IntelliJ a lot, and I ran into this seemingly very basic problem:
CMake Error: The source directory "/cygdrive/c/.../untitled" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
This happens even when building a clean C project from scratch in CLion, where a CMakeLists.txt file is present in exactly that directory. I use cygwin64 as compiler and work on a Windows x64 machine. I guess /cygdrive/ before c is due to that.
Sorry to bother you guys with that basic stuff, but I simply cannot work it out. I know there are a lot of similar questions around, unfortunately that did not help me.
I am newbee c programmer so be patient. I have a MSP430 C project in Code Composer Studio 7.3 using windows 7. My project (USB) was working fine and then I tried to add more code to incorporate a SPI interface and everything went sideways. I restored my original code but now have problems that weren't there before. Seems to compile but has several unresolved symbols errors in the linker (I think). I have searched/researched many answers to these types of problems on the forum and tried many things (over the past two days!!) and cannot resolve my problem. Possibly I made things worse by copying library/functions directly into my project directory but still didn't seem to change anything. The errors are related to standard MSP430 functions, not my code. My project tree looks like:

Errors from Console are:
console errors
From everything I have read it indicates that either I have a compiler library path problem or a linker file path problem. Tried a lot of combinations to no avail. Following are the compiler and linker path info:
linker 1
linker 2
If I look in my repository of library stuff downloaded from TI you can see that the dma.h and dma.c files which reference the error message lines in the files are there and I don't understand why the linker can't do its thing.
dma file tree
In the linker under library files I noticed the original libmath.a file didn't point to anything so I found one and added it (not help). Also the libc.a points to a section of 3 directories (different versions of a tool) which each have a different version of libc.a and I think I tried all of them. See below for directories

Any help would be greatly appreciated
A CLUE POSSIBLY: CLUE? In my quest to solve my issues, I created a new CCs project and pasted my main.c file in and then went through a series of compiles solving the errors as the showed up. I was down to one error : can't open source file hal.h. I believe this is a file that was included with the usb example code I started with. After copying it into my project I am back to square on with all the errors listed above. To get here I only needed to point the compiler to driverlib to solve previous errors. The hal.h file seems to only include driverlib.h which is also referenced in my main function so why all the errors??
FIXED BUT WHY!!!
To solve this issue I imported the drivlib directory from the TI repo on my D drive into my project. Now everything compiles. Can anyone tell me why I had to do that given that I had path directives to look on my D drive?? Can it be related to search path length being too long?
I have looked at other similar questions around stackoverflow, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I am trying to compile a code sample, and it needs these header files:
linux/module.h
linux/modversion.h
linux/sched.h
linux/tqueue.h
But I keep getting errors saying that those files can't be found. I know I should add them to the kernel, but can you please guide me through the process and tell me how to get this done. Thanks in advance for any help.
The code sample can be found here.
You probably want to compile kernel source code first, or check if the below path exists
/lib/modules/kernel-version/build
Or more precisely
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
Or
path to your kernel build
This is generally the path where your kernel build tree is present.
Needless to say normal gcc based compilation wont work here.
This should get you started
Some of these files are shipped with any linux distro in :
/usr/include/linux/
but if you haven't linux installed in your machine see linux source tree in github repo :
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/include/linux
So, I got file "lfs.c" "lfs.h" "lfs.def" and ".gitignore". I tried installing MinGW and typing in that command: gcc lfs.c (Keep in mind that I'm a total newbie in such things), which leaves me with error "failed to include lua.h"... I don't know how to do that, can anyone please explain to me how to do that? Or at least give me the link to already compiled lfs.dll?
You are likely to be missing Lua include files; see this SO answer for details on how to set it up.
Simply getting lfs.dll may not be so easy as different DLLs may depends on different Lua DLLs on Windows. I have lfs.dll that is compiled against Lua51.dll, so if this works for your project/needs, you can get a compiled version here.
I know it can sound as a pretty dumb question, but I do not have a great experience with installing downloaded libraries...
Anyhow I downloaded the source code of JudyArrays (which is a C library for a 256-trie for those who doesn't know it) from sourceforge and the installation instructions refers to the make command. I tried to download this utility, but I can't get it work. Which is the correct target makefile? All I managed to get was:
"..path\Makefile.in":15: *** missing separator. Stop.
I tried googling for some help but didn't find anything, either I'm searching with the wrong query string or I'm the only dumb person in the whole planet that can't manage to install it...
Any help? Is there any simpler method?
Thanks everyone
Run your Visual Studio Command Prompt to get a cmd.exe with the proper paths set. cd into the src directory of the JudyArrays source code and run build.bat. This'll compile Judy and produce a .lib and a .dll and a Judy.h header file file you'll have to use in your projects as any other 3. party library.
