I have an older version of minGW installed on my computer, Now I need to update the compiler to a newer version so I downloaded minGW(64) and unzipped it. Since I compared the new version to the older version I noticed that the new version had no bin folder containing the compiler or debugger! Am I missing something here? I do need to update the compiler but now I am frustrated. Help needed. syd

I was really looking for a mingw forum where I can discuss issues relating to mingw, but, so far, this is the closest to I've gotten to finding such a forum on Sourceforge. I have mingw installed and, after perusing online Utube videos and the mingw installation directory, I have many questions about what I have installed. I'm using it via Eclipse and it does seem to work very well. ie there is a file, ld.exe, in the mingw folder, which I think might be used to do an object file dump and show assemble...

I gave up on this IDE. Now I am using Eclipse!!!!!!

For a month now I've been screwing around with this IDE and getting nowhere with this thing. First, when I have a problem, I find the forum useless. I never get an answer, and looking at the activity on the forum it seems that it is not being used. I see a lot of views, but have never seen an answer to any of my posts that I have made! So it is useless! The documentation, what there is, is trivial and almost useless. I have been trying to get such a simple task as using the debugger running, but...

If I go into tools/compiler options menu and select programs, there is a check box that shows "Add a compiler set by folder". Does this mean that if I downloaded a mingw compiler set and selected the folder from this menu where I installed mingw, then I could select this as a compiler instead of the default, installed compiler? syd/wt1v

I did 2 things which solved most of the problems. I replaced the DevC++ IDE with the Embarcadaro version. It seems to be better. And then, instead of trying to use the old code, including the project files, make file, etc, I started from scratch just adding the .c and.h files into a new project. Now it compiles and runs!! I suspect that the real cause of my problems was due to simply copying the old, complete directory of files, including the project and makefiles. and using them in the new setup!...

You can look it up on Google, which I did or you can simply go to the following link. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/deployment/error-0xc004f074-activate-windows Windows can be a pain!!!! syd

I have Embarcedaro installed and in the installation directory there is a templates folder. In it there are 2 text files, helloc and hellocpp. These are the simplest forms of hello world that you can find. In other versions, the directory might be named examples. 1st make a new project for a console app and then add in this example file and compile and run it. There is also a helloc_input and likewise for C++ that will allow you to see the results on the command line console until you give back a...
