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 just downloaded and installed Mingw. I also setup the system environment variables for C:\MinGW\bin and C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin. I wanted to test to see if I had installed it correctly (it seemed to be since running gcc --version worked), so I wrote hellow world in c and tried to compile with gcc main.c -o hello_world.exe. However I got the error:
"The code execution cannot proceed because libewinpthread-1.dll" was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."
I have tired reinstalling it and restarting my computer. I have also tried to see if this problem has occurred to others, and while there are a few places it is mentioned, I can't seem to find a solution mentioned. I have thought about trying to download the dll separately, but if I remember correctly, downloading dlls is a big no no.
Awhile ago I installed mingw though chocolatey and it seemed to be working. I have deleted that download from my computer and removed the paths, since I wanted to try to install it the normal way. Could this be part of the error?
Any ideas what the issue could be? Thanks!
You have built an .exe file that depends on libwinpthread-1.dll.
Solutions to make sure the .exe can run:
Add the MinGW bin path to your PATH so libwinpthread-1.dll - this would only fix it for your own system so I wouldn't recommend this if you want to use the .exe file on other systems.
Copy libwinpthread-1.dll from MinGW in the same folder as your .exe file. This is generally needed for any shared dependancy library your .exe is linked against.
Build a static .exe (--static linker flag) to avoid the shared (.dll) dependancy.
Yes! probably is an error, cause MinGW is a bit stinky when it comes to DLLs
Here are some things you have to check:
Make sure the variable helding the location of MinGW is named "path"
and its pointing at: C:\MinGW64\bin
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
I upgraded to Yosemite, and now all my compilers (from the command line—gcc and icc) are giving me errors like: cannot open source file “ctype.h"
Does anyone know how to fix this? Do I need to reinstall the compilers?
OK, not sure what’s going on here, but after updating to Xcode 6.1.1 and installing the associated command line tools, icc seems like it can now find the system headers. Now having a separate issue with gcc, will post separately…
Okay here goes, I'm completely new at this, started learning the terminal just about 2 days ago. I'm slowly but surely getting the hang of it, now I'm stuck on this and I've been trying to fix it for a good hour. It's a rather simple question as I am a newby.
I have a C file in my desktop and a Header file in a folder in my desktop. I'm including that header in my C file. I have to link them (currently doing a tutorial, it tells me to link, but doesn't show me how).
You have a couple of options. First, you will need to install the software development environment - it's called Xcode. I think you can get it for free on the AppStore, if not Google it.
Then you need to decide if you want to develop and compile graphically in the Xcode Integrated Development Environment. If you do, start Xcode and create a new project and open your C file and change the "include path" to match the location of your header file. Then click "Build" and "Run"
If you want to do things at the commandline, you'll need to install "Xcode Command Line Tools" - Google it. That will give you a compiler. Then you can compile. I'm not certain which compiler you will get - it could be "llvm" or "gcc" or something else, but the command you are looking for will be something like:
gcc -o prog -I /path/to/HeaderFileFolder yoursourcecode.c
which will give you a program called "prog" that you can run by typing
./prog
You are likely confusing two different concepts. The "link" mentioned in the tutorial is probably talking about turning the compiled objects into a single executable. See http://www.cprogramming.com/compilingandlinking.html for an explanation of what linking means in this context.
What you've provided examples of doing is file system linking, which is totally unrelated.
Providing more details on the tutorial could help refine this answer.
I just installed Dev C++ and I am learning C programming.
the code i used was
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello world");
getch();
}
I saved it as a .c file. When I compile it works fine, but when I compile and run it says source file not compiled. So I googled buncha things and came across this video on youtube which shows you how to fix it. I also saw other forums on google which suggest the same thing... However, after doing whats asked, Now I can't even compile my code. I get this error
Compiler: Default compiler
Executing C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\gcc.exe...
C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\gcc.exe "C:\Users\ubaid\Documents\C\Untitled1.c" -o "C:\Users\ubaid\Documents\C\Untitled1.exe" -I"C:\Dev-Cpp\include" -L"C:\Dev-Cpp\lib"
gcc.exe: Internal error: Aborted (program collect2)
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://www.mingw.org/bugs.shtml> for instructions.
Execution terminated
I have also used what is asked on this link, and still no luck..

I am using windows 8
I was having this issue and fixed it by going to:
C:\Dev-Cpp\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2
, then deleting collect2.exe
Install new version of Dev c++. It works fine in Windows 8. It also supports 64 bit version.
Download link is http://sourceforge.net/projects/orwelldevcpp/ .
I guess you're using windows 7 with the Orwell Dev CPP
This version of Dev CPP is good for windows 8 only. However on Windows 7 you need the older version of it which is devcpp-4.9.9.2_setup.exe
Download it from the link and use it.
(Don't forget to uninstall any other version already installed on your pc)
Also note that the older version does not work with windows 8.
This maybe because the c compiler is designed to work in linux.I had this problem too and to fix it go to tools and select compiler options.In the box click on programs
Now you will see a tab with gcc and make and the respective path to it.Edit the gcc and make path to use mingw32-c++.exe and mingw32-make.exe respectively.Now it will work.
The reason was that you were using compilers built for linux.
You can always try doing it manually from the command prompt. Navigate to the path of the file and type:
gcc filename.c -o filename
I found a solution. Please follow the following steps:
Right Click the My comp. Icon
Click Advanced Setting.
CLick Environment Variable. On the top part of Environment Variable Click New
Set Variable name as: PATH then
Set Variable Value as: (" the location of g++ .exe" )
For ex. C:\Program Files (x86)\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\bin
Click OK
This error occurred because your settings are not correct.
For example I receive
cannot open output file Project1.exe: Permission denied
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make.exe: *** [Project1.exe] Error 1
Because I have no permission to write on my exe file.
After some investigation, and with Dr.Topaz's help, I have learned that you will want to confirm that the program set for g++ in the Compiler Options really does compile the source code. In my case, the C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\g++.exe program did not create an exe, but the C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\c++.exe program did. Either program appears to be intended to take the same arguments and options as GNU g++. I would love to find an actual doc on the Dev-C++ compiler programs, but I have not so far.
You can test the compiler program with a simple example like this:
C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\c++.exe hello.cpp -o hello.exe
Currently in 2021, the Dev-C++ site invites you to download either original Dev-C++ or a newer fork by a group named Embarcadero.
I decided to try the Embarcadero version and the experience was slightly better. The UI is still a tad dated, but the g++.exe program it came with was able to compile programs without issue. Again, take note of where the program is being installed, but in my case, the Embarcadero compiler programs were in C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Dev-Cpp\TDM-GCC-64\bin.
Both original Dev-C++ and Embarcadero come with mingw-32 versions of the compiler programs that from what I see do work in a Git Bash console, with slight differences such as not recognizing a default locale when using the command std::cout.imbue(std::locale("")).
I faced this similar error, and none of the solutions worked.
so I tried to download the latest version from here, https://www.bloodshed.net/
I rerun the program.
and everything is now working correctly.
I was facing the same issue as described above.
It can be resolved by creating a new project and creating a new file in that project.
Save the file and then try to build and run.
Hope that helps. :)
