The Compiler that comes with dev-c++ is called MinGW http://www.mingw.org.

They have a new installer that is very easy to use, it can be got from
http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-5.0.0.exe?download

1. Install it, select current or candidate, then tick gcc, g++ and make.

2. Add the path to the bin directory, usually C:\MinGW\bin to the "PATH"
environment variable. If you don't know what an environment variable is
look it up.

If you have already have the compiler installed the only task required
is to add the bin path to the "PATH" enviroment variable. Search for
gcc.exe if you don't know where it is.

You should be able to call gcc from a command prompt when done. You may
also need to set eclipse to call "mingw32-make" instead of "make", look
in your project options.

good luck
George

If you are talking about when you type gcc into the command prompt that
is the normal reply since you did not pass any parameters into it. For
example "gcc -c test.c" would be a typical command.

But if you are talking about an error that displays in eclipse it could
be a problem. Try google to see if someone else has had the same problem.
