Summary: no include search path

Initial Comment:
I have been trying everythign to get this thing to work, and now I'm stumped..
When I try compiling a simple file like
#include <stdio.h>
...
printf("hello");
...

it will freak out and say no include search path in which to search for stdio.h
why the crap is this!? I thought it was installed properly!
if all else, then how can I manually add an include search path(also provide me something for lib search path)

I got around it by putting all my projects onto C:, and putting
"C:\mingw\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5;" into path, nothing to modify in
makefiles..

I ran into the same problem. Took me two days, but I managed to find a way
to get things to compile. I had to explicitly include all the paths for
libraries, includes, and binaries. I have cygwin installed to C:\cygwin and
MinGW installed to C:\cygwin\mingw. I had call 'export
PATH=$PATH:/mingw/bin:/mingw/libexec/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2' in order to get the
libraries to work correctly. As for the includes, I added
'-I/cygwin/mingw/include -I/cygwin/mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/include'
when compiling my source files. To resolve the paths for the libraries, I
added '-L/cygwin/mingw/lib  -L/cygwin/mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2
-I/cygwin/mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2'. Lastly, the files
'/mingw/lib/crt2.o', '/mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/crtbegin.o', and
'/mingw/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/crtend.o' needed to be copied to the local
directory. I will be adding a new Makefile to my projects in order to cover
these changes. From what it looks like, MinGW on Windows can't figure out
where anything is on its own.
