From "Control Panel" ⇒ (Optional) System and Security ⇒ System ⇒ Advanced System Settings ⇒ "Advanced" tab ⇒ Environment Variables ⇒ System Variables ⇒ Select variable named "PATH" ⇒ Edit ⇒ Add " c:\cygwin\bin " in front of the existing PATH entry. Suppose that your Cygwin is installed in directory " c:\cygwin". Include the Cygwin Binary directory ( bin) in the PATH environment variable.

Finally, -lRlapack -lRblas tells gcc to also link (include in the executable) the appropriate

In particular, the LAPACK and BLAS dynamic linked L"C:/Program Files/R/R-2.9.0/bin" tells gcc to Tells gcc to look for additional header files in that path.

Note that you hit the Enter key after the command and it creates hello.exe. The "-Wall" tells the compiler to send all warning messages to the screen, the "hello.c" is theĬ program (it is posted on the website), and the "-o" tells the linker what to name the executable That you are using to store the programs, simply type:Ĭ:\mingw\bin\gcc -Wall hello.c -o hello.exe At the Command Line to run a C program from the directory This is what it looks like as it unpacks all the files:Īfter you click "Next" you are done.
