I thing you have installed before Mingw , so 99% the problem, is this: add the PATH to your bin folder in Environment Variable. 1. open folder [LINK] 2. click this pc (folder) [LINK] 3. Click mingw folder [LINK] 4. click Bin folder [LINK] 5. now to copy the path from the top [LINK] C:\MinGW\bin 6. go another time to MY PC folder [LINK] 7. now click in the FREE SPACE with your right-click-mouse [LINK] what is mean right-click ? ok. [LINK] 8. click properties [LINK] now you have a UI like this: [LINK] 9. click Advanced system settings [LINK] 10. click on Environment variable [LINK] now the UI is like this: [LINK] 11. click on Path , the Click Edit... [LINK] now the UI is like this: [LINK] 12.
