Help a newb compile.

Not sure if this is the proper place to post this but here it goes anyways :

So I have been trying to learn how to compile and figure out certain errors.

I have re installed windows. Now I am in the process of trying to get all the stuff installed so I can start compiling the various wallets out there.

I have followed these steps:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0

I have gotten up to the 2.3 step where you start to bootstrap.bat mingw

The CMD keeps telling me this error:

C:\deps\boost_1_53_0>bootstrap.bat mingw
Building Boost.Build engine
'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Failed to build Boost.Build engine.
Please consult bootstrap.log for furter diagnostics.

You can try to obtain a prebuilt binary from

   http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941

Also, you can file an issue at http://svn.boost.org
Please attach bootstrap.log in that case.


I have installed this on my computer once before. I am not 100% sure if I did it right the first time lol.

I also have one question on adding the MinGW bin folder to the path environment. I just put it on the end of the line like this " \C:\MinGW\bin "
That should be okay right?

Op system is Windows 7.
I plan on moving to another Op system soon but I need to learn that too.

'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

you either have to perform the command in a mingsys command prompt, or modify your PATH environment variable.

or for ezbuild, use VMWare+ubuntu+gitian build.

go to command promp in the client then look up commands on google to fix it
