Summary: "Is this Bug relating to Vista or Not?"

Initial Comment:
I'v installed the latest stable version of MinGW.

This is not my first time installing MinGW on a Vista Platform. All runs normally until this time.

What I Meet:

I just using "gcc" command compile a Hello to test.

code:
/* This is a Hello Program testing gcc */
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    printf("Hello,world!\n");

    return 0;
}

I save it as Hello.cpp on desktop and then use cmd.exe of Vista like this:

C:\Users\$MyUsrNameofVista$\Desktop>gcc Hello.c

Below is what it report to me:

Hello.c:1:17: no include path in which to search for stdio

Then I give the directive with the whole pathname of gcc like this:

C:\Users\$MyUsrNameofVista$\Desktop>D:\craft\MinGW\bin\gcc hello.c

Then:

hello.c:1:17: stdio: No such file or directory

I then change the directory both Mingw and the source file as many as possible combinations with no miracle occured.

But,When I use Eclipse+CDT,something different came out:

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! Though the gcc still can't work well under cli model.

This Problem came not too early,at least I can run mingw well on vista for nearly 3 month.All problem came out after I reinstalled my vista. I hope who can give me some help to sovle the damned problem.

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

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?

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?

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.

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

File Added: hello.c

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
