I recently downloaded MinGW onto a WINDOWS 98 system and followed the =
instructions in "C Programming in easy steps" but I cannot get the =
program to work.

 I have  the following directories set up

C:\MinGW and C:Myprograms and have added to C:autoexec.bat a path =
C:\MinGW\bin but I have been unable to get a programming window to =
operate in.

 In DOS the command gcc -v tells my that: -=20

 Reading specs from C:/MINGW/BIN/../lib/gcc-lib/mingw32/3.2/specs

Configured with: ../gcc/configure --with-gcc --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as =
--host=3D

mingw32 --target=3Dmingw32 --prefix=3D/mingw --enable-threads =
--disable-nls --enable

-languages=3Df77,c++,objc,ada --disable-win32-registry --disable-shared

Thread model: win32

gcc version 3.2 (mingw special 20020817-1)

 I have created the Hello World code in NOTEPAD and saved it to =
Myprograms.

 How do I compile the from a window as the book seems to be using=20

Can any one help. please.
