GCC compiler

[sonxEr77]

I've been trying to google step by step instruction on how to compile a simpe c program using GCC. All i get are linux commands, i'm looking for running GCC in windows & use cmd prompt to comple a c/c++ file...

A link will help. Oh! must also include steps of installing gcc on windows which will lead to "how to compile"... thanx in advance

download and install mingw:

Compiling is fairly simple

notepad testfile.c
gcc -o testfile testfile.c

-twiga

What about linking....? Should this command be ran in any folder or must be in the gcc folder?

If you only use the standard C includes you don't need to link against anything (all done for you).

If not you would need to: gcc -o test test.c -lsomelibrary

You don't need a seperate linker program, gcc does it all for you.
