[Mingw-users] Startup problems

[Adam B. <ac...@ad...>]

I am new to windows, but have experience programming in both mac and linux.  I installed the latest snapshot from the website (2.95.3-4) and wrote the following BAT to setup the environment:

SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\progra~1\vide;d:\mingw\bin

SET COMPILER_PATH=d:\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-4
SET LIBRARY_PATH=d:\mingw\lib
SET C_INCLUDE_PATH=d:\mingw\include
SET CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=%C_INCLUDE_PATH%

command.com

then type "gcc hello.c" at the prompt, and get the following error: GCC.EXE: Installation Problem, cannot exec d:/mingw/lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/2.95.3-4/cpp0.exe": No such file or directory.

the file d:\mingw\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.3-4\cpp0.exe does exist, but the compiler seems to have /'s instead of \'s.  Any advice on how to solve this?
