Answer 1

I installed MinGW of the ofcial website.
I select "Basic Setup"( I only wanted get c compiler), and I marked all package, after this installation I added the path, in my case.

C:\MinGW\bin.

I created a c file in

C:\Users\christian\Documents\C projects\

with the name untitled1.c

Wen I tried to use the command

gcc untitled.c

the command promt showed me that message.

gcc: CreateProcess: No such file or directory
