I just installed the latest version of Cygwin ans for some reason when I try to compile code, it always flashes me this error:
-bash: gcc: command not
I also don't seem to have the gcc.exe that people are referring to and when I try installing stuff like mingw as suggested by other forum answers, it always gives me this error that ti couldn't install the repository.txt.... Looking for help on this matter!
You can install gcc by running setup-x86.exe or setup-x86_64.exe again. The gcc package is in the Devel category:
Then you must go to System properties, System variables, and append the path to "C:\cygwin64\bin" in PATH
If you have already added the gcc package you want you may also need to setup a symbolic link to a different gcc.exe binary. For example:
$cd /usr/bin/
$ln -s i686-pc-cygwin-gcc.exe gcc
$which gcc
$/usr/bin/gcc
You can add the gcc package through the 'Add Package' batch file.

I received below error:
'g++' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
Did the below to resolve:
Downloaded & installed setup-x86_64.exe from https://cygwin.com/install.html
selected below:
gcc-g++: GNU Compiler Collection (C++)
make: The GNU version of the 'make' utility
gdb: The GNU Debugger
Appended ';C:\cygwin64\bin' to PATH environment variable
All errors are gone.
when selecting packages at installation or update search for 'gcc' in searchbox and select the boxes showing 'gcc' mostly found in devel package.
Try installing cygwin from a mirror you did not use earlier(preferably the first one). Some of the servers hold older versions of cygwin which have many problems. Also, search for gcc and install the devel package.
I had the same problem when I installed cygwin from the iitm mirror(closest to my home), and it got resolved when I reinstalled the whole thing from the cygwin mirror.

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 just switched to a M1 MacBook Air and I'm having trouble with Homebrew. The installation went fine I think, and then I added it to my path with the given commands:
Run these two commands in your terminal to add Homebrew to your PATH:
echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"' >> /Users/xxx/.zprofile
eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
I also did brew install cunit and then when I typed brew list CUnit was listed there so I'm assuming the brew install of cunit worked.
But when I run my C test code this is what I get:
test/test.c:3:10: fatal error: 'CUnit/Basic.h' file not found
#include <CUnit/Basic.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
make: *** [test_compile] Error 1
I have been sitting with this for three days, called Apple support, searched every page related to this and still can't find a solution that works.
Has anyone had the same problem? PLEASE help
Homebrew installs into /opt/homebrew by default on M1 Macs, and no longer links into /usr/local by default (to prevent clashes with Rosetta library installs). This means that include files and libraries can't be found without explicitly telling the compiler/linker where your Homebrew packages are installed.
The easiest way of doing this is by setting the CPATH environmental variable before compiling:
export CPATH=/opt/homebrew/include
Add the above line to your shell profile (.zprofile for zsh, or .bash_profile for bash) and it will be used in all future compilations.
For dependencies which also require shared libraries, you will need to also signpost the location of Homebrew's new lib path:
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib
Can you tell me how to install GTK on windows 10 or have a step by step guide, all the ones I've tried have not helped me.
Possibly if someone also explain how to compile from cmd or prepare an IDE (code: block maybe).
Any commands I mention should be run at the MINGW shell, found here: C:\msys64\msys2_shell.cmd
First update msys2 with pacman -Syu
Make sure you have installed GCC...Install the required toolchain for GCC with pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain. When using pacman, just keep typing enter if prompted to follow through with the installation and get back to the command prompt.
In order to set this step up with Code:Blocks, make sure you go to the Code:Blocks menu Settings->Compiler, and the menu Toolchain Executables. From there, put in the msys2 installation directory and where you installed MinGW's GCC compiler (for me this was putting C:\msys64\mingw64) under the compiler's installation directory option. Also edit the C Compiler path under the same menu to x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe.
Next, in order to install gtk+3.0, use the command pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk3. Now the latest version of GTK+3.0 will have been installed, so it is time to set it up with Code:Blocks.
Open Code:Blocks and create a new C file. You may definitely write your code in Code:Blocks, but I do not suggest that you compile it from there. Two compile, go back to the MINGW shell. Type nano ~/.bashrc to edit it. You may scroll down using the arrow keys to the bottom of the file and add: PATH=$PATH:/c/msys64/mingw64/bin. Restart the MINGW shell and open it back up.
Finally, try running:
gcc source.c -o executable.exe `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`.
If that command doesn't work, I would suggest using the i686 version of gcc installed in MINGW.
I hope this helps!
I have the MinGW install previously working fine with MSYS. They are installed properly and functioning just well.
I installed the PortAudio library and did the install and got the success message after:
./configure
make
make install
When I try to compile samples:
c:\c>gcc patest_mono.c -o pa.exe
patest_mono.c:50:23: fatal error: portaudio.h: No such file or directory
#include "portaudio.h"
^
compilation terminated.
I'm new. I have a feeling I might be doing something fundamentally wrong with the way I'm trying to create the exe from compiling. It's been somewhat of a puzzle quest so far, but I've tried to figure it out and think I am close but completely missing something.
PATH variable ?
In the PortAudio MinGW build instructions I noticed
"The above should create a working version though you might want to
provide '–prefix=<path-to-install-dir>' to configure. "
I've tried adding C:\MingW\PortAudio into the user path. Doesn't work.
I've also tried running the commands in Bash and they come back with an error message "No Rule to make target 'paexpink'" either with the make command, and with gcc .c -o .exe I just get the same error message as compiling straight from the cmd prompt.
I found another source on stack overflow thread with no answers, but the user had commented that http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyaudio provided them a solution but I tried installing the 5 cpython binaries and under the assumption I did it right, it didn't work either.
Thanks for your help,
Julian
To build and install portaudio, you need to add -prefix=/c/<"path to base of the MinGW directory"> to the ./configure line.
For example: ./configure -prefix=/c/MinGW/
then continue the installation by doing
make
After that, do the
make install
and that should install the portaudio files into MinGW.
After it has finished installing, you need to add -lportaudio to the compile command whenever you compile any programs that you want to use PortAudio in.
For example: gcc -o test test.c -lportaudio
I just figured out how to do this today, so I may have accidentally forgotten a few steps.
I have a problem while compiling Vim 7.4 under AIX 6.1.
My options for the configure script are: "--prefix /opt/freeware/bin" and "--enable-pythoninterp".
There where no Errors while running the configure Script but when I try to run "make" I get the error message:
cd src && make first
cc -qlanglvl=extc89 -c -I. -Iproto -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DFEAT_GUI_ATHENA -DFUNCPROTO=15 -g -o objects/regexp.o regexp.c "regexp_nfa.c"
line 4410.1: 1506-046 (S) Syntax error.

Does anyone know what to do?
I had compiled Vim 7.4 in my home directory so I know that there is a workaround but I can't find it anymore.
AIX's built in make (based on standard AT&T make) is not compatible with the Makefiles built by autoconf tools. Use GNU make (gmake) instead. You may already have it installed (check /opt/freeware/bin), install from the Linux Toolbox for AIX set (from IBM), or from one of the websites providing prebuilt GNU tools for AIX systems (perzl, bullfreeware, etc). Just provide an alias from make to gmake, or override the use of make in the Makefile itself.
