Run MinGW gcc compiler on Windows 7 without setting environment variables

Question

I have a MinGW folder on Windows, and I have not set any paths in the environment variables. When I run the following command:

D:\toolchains\MinGW\bin>gcc.exe hw.c -o hw

I got this error:

gcc.exe: error: CreateProcess: No such file or directory

As far as I understand, this problem is caused by the fact that I did not add this path to the environment variables. How can I solve this problem without adding this path to environment variables, because I plan to run this command with a Python script.

Answer 1

You either need to change the PATH environment variable or start the gcc process using the appropriate working directory. You can do both in python:

• python

• python

PATH.

PATH Mingw. . this, " ":

• " " "".
• "", " ".
• . . PATH . , PATH. - , !
• PATH , ""

• ;<installation-directory>\bin

• OK → OK → , .
