I need to compile and execute a C program that belongs to a another party.
The author has made all of the source code available to me. My environment
is Windows/XP SP2. The material the author made available includes several
.c files, several .h files, and a makefile. I will be using a library that
is created by one of the C programs in a perl program and also executing
another (provided) C program that will excercise the same library.
I have installed MinGW. I have little experience with C and even less with
gcc. I've looked through some of the extensive documentation for gcc but am
still uncertain how to get started. Can someone give me some guidance?
TIA,
Phil

You may just be able to go to the directory where the makefile sits
and type "make". Beyond this, it really depends on your
configuration. gcc isn't special with regards to compilers -- it
pretty much works the same as others you might have used.
