Initial Comment:
OS version:                  Windows XP Home
gcc version:                  3.4.2
ld version:                     2.15.91 20040904

build environment:         MinGW? C?

When i try to compile this simple C script:

#include <stdio.h>

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

i get the message:
gcc: hello.c: no such file or directory
gcc: no input files

the file is saved in the directory:C:\MinGW, where all
my mingw files are installed.

here are examples of what i've tried:

C:\ gcc hello.c
gcc: hello.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files

C:\ gcc -c hello.c
gcc: hello.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files

C:\ gcc hello.c -o hello.exe
gcc: hello.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files

C:\ gcc -c hello.c -o hello.exe
gcc: hello.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files

C:\ gcc -S hello.c
gcc: hello.c: No such file or directory
gcc: no input files

please help! it's really frustrating. btw i have
basically no experience with GNU i'm just going by a
book written in 2004 so i need help.
