MinGW编译器错误 - 如何设置MSYS bat？

Question

I'm running Windows 8 .

I installed the MinGW compiler to the default C:\\ directory using the GUI installer . I selected to install all the elements available in the Basic Setup package of the MinGW Installation Manager .

After the installation completed, I checked that "C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/etc/fstab" had the one line of C:/MinGW /mingw and an open line beneath it. I also created a shortcut to msys.bat in the Start menu.

Then I rebooted my machine.

I created a folder called "CompileBin" in the C:\\ directory, so C:\\CompileBin\\ and then I placed my test.cpp file inside, so C:\\CompileBin\\test.cpp

I ran msys.bat and the console opened up. It showed:

MyName,@MyLaptopsName ~
$

I started to navigate to where my test.cpp is:

cd c:\CompileBin\

Now the prompt looked like this:

MyName,@MyLaptopsName ~
$ cd c:\CompileBin\
>

I entered the dir command to look around and got the response:

MyName,@MyLaptopsName ~
$ cd c:\CompileBin\
> dir
sh: cd: c:CompileBindir: No such file or directory

Okay, so I figured maybe the path wasn't set up.

I added PATH to the Environment Variables (because it was NOT originally there) and gave it the value C:\\MinGW\\bin;

I still get the same error.

Unix tooling requires forward slashes in path names. It is cd c:/CompileBin
