Codeblocks? Yes!
Mingw? No!

Anyway here's a little tutorial on how MS-DOS works.

Once upon a time...  :lol: there was something called command.com. Whenever you ran a program that wasn't in the current directory, it said "bad command or filename". So then someone got the idea of making a PATH variable, so that any paths inside it would run automatically. Many programs of MS-DOS like "find", "more" grew dependent on this feature to work correctly.

MinGW is not a "program" either. It's a set of independent programs that also depend on this PATH feature to work correctly.

See? It's no magic, you just have to know how these things work.

rick22, didn't you advise me in another thread (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,1388.0.html) not to scare "newbies" like that...?!  :lol: (Don't take it seriously, "the-moon".)

Morten.

...not yet in bed.
