If the OP is using edsharp, she's on Windows, not *nix, which kills the idea of using the which command.

Now I am not sure if mingw put the compilers in the path or if you have to. If this doesn't work then you probably have to. Use the command cd like this. Cd c:\user\yourUser\ Then if you type Gcc myProgram.c -o myProgram It will create an executable for you if you have no errors. Note this is if your program is in your user directory if you have it saved in a folder which you should you will have to cd into there. If it says it can't find the command gcc then you need to put the mingw\bin in your path.

Right now I am attempting to use MinGW with the EdSharp text editor, but when I select the compiler through EdSharp and then try and save a file, it gives the file a .cs rather than a .c extension. Is there something I should be doing differently? I also hear that the Windows command line utility works well, but have no idea how to use it, so perhaps someone here would be willing to provide me with resources? Thanks.
