How to correctly set Vim's makeprg (Windows)

Question

In Linux, I've used this au FileType c set makeprg=gcc\\ -o\\ %< in my .vimrc to set my default compiler for .c files, and this: nmap <F5> :<CU>silent make %<CR>:redraw!<CR>:!./%<<CR> to bind F5 key to make things faster.

How should I do this on Windows? I've tried with au FileType c set makeprg="cmd /c C:\\tcc\\tcc.exe -o %<" and some few other samples, but none have worked.

In brief: I want to hit F5 to compile&run program in cmd or cmd with errors that compiler gave.

I'd appreciate any hints how to get this thing work on Windows. Thanks.

Answer 1

There is no need to include cmd.exe on 'makeprg' . The line you use in Linux should work fine if gcc is in your path.

Another approach could be using Single Compile plugin to simplify the mapping to F5 .
