MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows

As to your question about your response; I have no further comment about
your environment as yet.

As for downloading the file; go to the attached files area then scroll
horizontally to the right. There should be a column of links that say
``Download''. If that doesn't help, try viewing the source to see if the
download link is on the page.

To Danny and earnie:

I attach two pic "login.png" and "attach.jpg" which describ what i met.

I still cant find where any hyperlink or button I can click it to download
these attach file is.

Fw: earnie,can you give some suggestion by consider with my reply
"2007-04-29 17:59" ?
Thank you very much!

It wasn't there this morning. Ok. I'll close the SF Support ticket.

I am able to download the files when I'm logged in to SF.
(You may need to scroll to right to see 'Download' column)

SF Support Ticket 1710036
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1710036&group_id=1&atid=200001

Looks like a bug in the SF UI introduced with new rounds of changes. I'll
open an SF bug ticket with that one.

To dannysmith:

Sorry,I cant find a place to download the two file you attached with
reply.

To earnie:

I unzip these pacakges :

binutils-2.16.91-20060119-1.tar.gz
gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
mingw-runtime-3.12.tar.gz
mingw32-make-3.81-2.tar.gz
w32api-3.9.tar.gz

when I do as you told me,it perform like this:

D:\Craft\MinGW\bin>dir ..\include\stdio.h
Driver D Volumn Programs
Volumn Serials Number 7C3B-93CE

D:\Craft\MinGW\include

I've attached two patched drivers -- xgcc.exe for C, xg++.exe for C++.
Please ungzip to your D:\Craft\MinGW\bin directory (or wherever it is that
gcc.exe is located) and try

xgcc -v hello.c or a C test case
and
xg++ -v hello.cpp for a C++ test case

I wanted you to list the packages you installed. I can't read your mind
as to which ones those were.

Based on the gcc -v output, you have not installed correctly.

Now go to the bin directory containing gcc.exe
Then ``dir ..\include\stdio.h''

What is the result?

to earnie:

This is the result after "gcc -v hello.c"

I just unzip those packages which download by the installer when first
installation processed.

What packages did you unzip and install?

What does ``gcc -v hello.c'' output to stdout?

Looking at the list of search paths, from the above command, can *you*
find stdio.h?

to earnie:

I'd tried 2 ways to install MinGW. first,I use the installer down from
SF.net. It dosent work.
Then I unistall the MinGW,and unzip all package just as the instructions
on the page you refered.
It also dosent work. I set the Enviroment Variable in "System Poperty"
just as what i set in eclipse.
But it dosent work always though it works well under the Eclipse + CDT
model.

I'll tell you another thing.I try to install MinGW on another PC installed
Vista,the same case came out.

I'd make MinGW work well on vista before,but now it seems some mysterious
things came to me.

No, I wasn't kidding. Often the user who has the issue of not finding the
include files hasn't installed correctly.

Thanks! danny!

I try two version of Mingw with gcc,with both gcc version 3.4.2 and
3.4.5.

The Envirorment Variable of Eclipse,I only add the key "PATH" which
supposed only need to be set in the "System Poperty::Advanced System
Settings::Enviorment DialogBox" of Vista.

The Key "PATH" has value
{;D:\Craft\MinGW\bin;D:\Craft\MinGW\include;D:\Craft\MinGW\lib;D:\Craft\MinGW\include\c++\3.4.5;D:\Craft\MinGW\include\c++\3.4.5\backward;D:\Craft\MinGW\include\c++\3.4.5\mingw32;}

I set it in the Eclispe ,from toolar Window Menu "preference::C++::'new
make project'::Enviorment".

"I'v installed the latest stable version of MinGW."

Just to to be clear, what does gcc -v report?

"Normally,if mingw gcc can work well,you needn't set any enviorment
variable
in Eclipse settings,but this time,I just try to set the envirorment
variable in Eclipse settings,it works!"

What environment variables?

What is in PATH?

Short answer to your question, I think this may be related to Vista.
If yop can provide me with above information, I'll be better able to
help.

Danny

earnie,you are kidding me.I had used MinGW for years,on XPSP2 and on
vista.

Only this time,the question comes out.

Did you follow http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/GettingStarted

Thanks you two to point out my fool mistake when i submit the bug
report,but it's not the problem that wrong head file was included.

I tweak the Hello.c
___________________________________________

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf("Hello,World!\n");
return 0;
}

___________________________________

then I use cli to compile it like this:

C:\Users\$Usr$\Desktop\gcc hello.c

it reported like this:

hello.c:1:19: no include path in which to search for stdio.h

You're trying to mix C++ with C. Use g++ to compile C++ code and use gcc
to compile C code. Name the file cpp or cxx or C or use the -x c++ switch
to ensure that the code is compiled as c++. Secondly you include iostream
which is C++ and use printf which is C stdio.h.

So the answer to the question is "No this is not a vista issue".

Moving to "Support Request"; no bug has been proven.

Oops. I forgot the dashes to indicate stdin in my last:

echo '#include <stdio.h>' | gcc -H -E -xc - | less
echo '#include <iostream>' | g++ -H -E -xc++ - | less

Either
replace "<iostream>" with "<stdio.h>"
or
rename Hello.c to Hello.cpp and compile with the "g++" command.


Also, to see where the compiler is looking for header files, try these:

echo '#include <stdio.h>' | gcc -H -E -xc | less
echo '#include <iostream>' | g++ -H -E -xc++ | less
