Oh finally... now it works! I ran into some hindi videos first, then some windows 8 etc. finally here!! Thanks a lot!! I still need to make it work on visual studio... one problem at a time ;)
This file downloaded incorrectly error is really annoying. The key is just manually copy contents from zip archive :) Anyhow glad it helped someone out there.
Watch out for File Downloaded Incorrectly error. Just download the zip archive and unpack manually...that does same thing as the installer. Then just make sure to add the path to your mingw directory in Environment Variavles to PATH.
Do you know how to troubleshoot if the command line returns " 'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." despite having installed it on C drive?
Thanks I was so confused with all the weird installations and terms i had never heard before since I only know java and python. Thank you for this video, it really helped!
Thank you so much for this easy to follow guide. I have spent 2 full hours searching for a solution to this issue. Lots of things out there on this but it was your video that made it work!
hello, i did all of the things you've said but I keep getting " 'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." on cmd. what did I do wrong?
Thanks so much for this guide! It's difficult to believe, but even after extensive research this was the only source that offered a working solution on how to get MinGW 64 runnning. This really should be easier. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
it is a zip file and then there are no instructions on how to install the unzipped file or what to do with all the folders..this is now the 6th video I have tried and non of them work!
i have been trying to install this for over 3 hr now, i did exactly what this video told me to but still didnt work, at the cmd prompt i typed in "gcc --version" but it didnt work and after 3hr of searching i came back to this video again and i typed the C:\mingw64\bin in the enviromental variable and it actually worked, i had ignored this before
Hopefully you've figured it out by now, but if not, her is something to try. Go to the C drive, then Users, then your user, then Downloads. That's where it went for me. If that doesn't work, go back to the C drive and in the search box, put "sjlj" and hit Enter. It might take a little while, but that should help you locate it.

I followed every step. Command line showed that the version is the last one and so on. But I still can't run the installer. It still says that file has been downloaded incorrectly. Am I cursed?
hi ive got a problem when i download the mingw files it didnt downloaded a zip file what is the problem ive been searching and didnt find the answers please help me out
you need an extractor app like winzip, with support for extracting different types of archives, basically you did download an archive in a file format the default windows unarchiver doesn't understand...look for winrar, i think it can extract different formats too
We hope to see some videos about Mac yet again if need to use Windows as a lot of hiring companies use it this comes in handy. Like the brute force part 😂
lol a lot of people get this .. make sure you added folder where your gcc.exe is to PATH in your environment variables (and restarted your Terminal or cmd.exe)
when i go to mingw it doesnt say windows 8, it says windows 12 and 10. and when i click on builds it has a github link and not a sourceforge one. what do i do?
easy good tutorial, worked like a charm! I would even skip the gui part, just downlpad mingw64, extract and copy paste in C:\ faster easier and reliable I immediately just added mingw64 and mingw64\bin into path
Bro, I did same as you and it worked very well just like you showed us, but after 4:33 I opened command line but it's not empty like you, it's already have address (C:\Users\hcl>) due to this I think it doesn't show results. How you got empty command.
Hopefully you have figured it out by now, but incase not, open up Command Prompt. It should still say (C:\Users\hcl>). Type (cd ..), then hit enter. Do it one more time, then you should have (C:\). Just to be clear, there is a space after (cd) and two periods. Hope that helps!
Question: I've been using mingw 32-bit, and just switched to 64-bit, now it won't recognize short data type, was there a change, or do I need to include the -lmingw32 as shown below? Is there a way to specify w64 instead. The error I'm getting is 'SHORT' does not name a type; did you mean 'MAXSHORT'? It's like, nooo, I meant short! My batch file: g++ -gstabs %1.cpp %2.cpp -lmingw32 -o %1.exe
@@ghosttogether Finally got it working after someone mentioned in a post, installing Msys2 from their website, which comes with G++, then updating Msys, and then having it install all the packages. I did have to include the root "...\mingw" and "..\mingw\bin" paths into the environment variables, which wasn't hard at all.
I'm able to do it all up to the part where you test the c program. It says that my path was not found for some reason? At least I was able to get up to the cmd verification part thank you.
@@ghosttogether i was able to input the gcc -version thing in cmd and got good results. But when i put >cd mingw64 and enter and it says “system couldn’t find path specified”. Though im sure i edited the env variables correctly.
@@Lumiyo_ check where you installed your mingw. in the tutorial i change default installation folder to c:\mingw if you skip this step it'll be installed to program files or some other default directory (which i try to avoid) if you went the route if unzipping the archive manually...make sure you unzip it into c:\mingw and also....make sure to add that location to PATH in environment variables
Legit one of the top reasons that developing on Windows is garbage and no one should ever fucking do it. This has been one of the most roundabout ways of installing stuff, and as much as I appreciate people like you making it easier or better, all of this is straight up unnecessary.

people having the isse of not getting what he is typing
you see this ( C:\Users\somename> ) , and could not switch to C drive path way just type ( cd\ ) after the ( C:\Users\somename> ).
example:
first line after opening command prompt (C:\Users\somename>)
execute this:
C:\Users\somename>cd\
result
C:\
Then type
C:\>cd mingw64
result:
C:\mingw64
pleas e pin up the comment so others can get the help :) thanks
use choco , its more easier , just type choco install mingw
I got first result
but after typingc:\>mingw64
Result was the system cannot find the path specified
Thankyou
Finally after 5-6 hours and you got me the right one ..... Thank You man
