Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 15:21:00 -0000 Message-id: X-SW-Source: 2001-03/msg00557.html Dear GNU:   I downloaded all four components GCC, binutils, mingw32 and the windows32api headers.   I followed the in structions on the installation page, unfortunately I was not successful getting the GCC Compiler to work.   The response is “Bad Command.”   Below is a copy of my AutoExec.bat file.   If you can offer any advice I would appreciate it.   I want to be able to compile and execute C programs, I am just beginning to learn the language and am generally not to computer literate.   If there are “dumbed down” installation instructions please direct me to those.   Or I would be happy to purchase the software on a CD-ROM if that would make it easier for me to load and use.   (I was referred to your site by my professor Dr. Blaine Garfolo (SFSU)—he assumes more technical ability than I have.)   If you can provide me with any assistance I would certainly appreciate it.   My email address is @msn.com, RobertsBrad   Thank you for your help.     Autoexec.bat:   @ECHO OFF path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\MINGW32\BIN \hibinv.exe set C_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\MINGW32\include set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\MINGW32\include\g++;C:\MINGW32\include set LIBRARY_PATH=C:\MINGW32\lib set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=C:\MINGW32\lib\gcc-lib\ call \checksr.bat IF "%config%"=="QUICK" GOTO QUICK set EXPAND=YES SET DIRCMD=/O:N set LglDrv=27 * 26 Z 25 Y 24 X 23 W 22 V 21 U 20 T 19 S 18 R 17 Q 16 P 15 set LglDrv=%LglDrv% O 14 N 13 M 12 L 11 K 10 J 9 I 8 H 7 G 6 F 5 E 4 D 3 C cls call setramd.bat %LglDrv% set temp=c:\ set tmp=c:\ path=%RAMD%:\;a:\;%path%;%CDROM%:\ copy command.com %RAMD%:\ > NUL set comspec=%RAMD%:\command.com copy extract.exe %RAMD%:\ > NUL copy readme.txt %RAMD%:\ > NUL   :ERROR IF EXIST ebd.cab GOTO EXT echo Please insert Windows Millennium Edition Startup Disk 2 echo. pause GOTO ERROR   :EXT %RAMD%:\extract /y /e /l %RAMD%: ebd.cab > NUL echo The diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to drive %RAMD%. echo.   IF "%config%"=="NOCD" GOTO QUIT IF "%config%"=="HELP" GOTO HELP LH %ramd%:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd001 /L:%CDROM% ::If MSCDEX doesn't find a drive...
