Hello,
This is a pretty specific problem so I doubt anyone will have any answer but.. I can hope. I'm posting this in a bunch of the forums I go on for that reason. Anyway, I just started a BEng program 2 weeks ago and I would like to be able to test the C programs that I write for computer science without having to go to the lab. Sounds easy but apparently isn't. In the lab we are using WinGW to compile our programs. I tried installing this and I thought everything went fine but when I try to compile something I just get
I followed the exact same steps that I used in the lab and I have tried it on both 64bit Windows 7 and 32bit Vista. However, in the lab we were using XP. I don't know if this could be the problem or not. I believe some of the other students have gotten it to work on Vista though. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Do I have to somehow make it so that WinGW is running? I don't see anything about that. Perhaps I could try to use I different compiler but I would like to be able to use this so that everything is the same as in the lab.
Thanks for your help,
Samuel Maskell
