hey ,

I have just started learning the language C with the help of C for dummies . M trying to make gcc work in windows , the following are the steps I have followed in command prompt & the problems m facing :-

in c:\windows i type "copy con gcc.bat" (wtq)

then i type :- @c:\Dev-Cpp\bin\gcc %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6

the error message it gives is access is denied , <0> files copied .

my os is windows 7 starter

pls help !

What are the permissions on that folder? Also, if you installed gcc as part of Dev-CPP, you should really download the latest version of MinGW, and update the path environment variable so you aren't running a bat file (you'll later have far more than 6 parameters to pass).

hey thr folder permission is read only , thats the problem when i try changing it , it doesnt let me ... any solutions ? .. will try using MinGW as you have suggested

thnx

That's because you don't have permissions to create a file in C:\Windows. What you should be doing is updating your path environment variable.
