There are several alternatives for compiling C on windows. Let's look at 2 of them: GCC. To install GCC on Windows you need to install MinGW. To install MinGW, go to the MinGW homepage, www.mingw.org, and follow the link to the MinGW download page.Download the latest version of the MinGW installation program which should be named MinGW.exe. For several years parallel hardware was only available for distributed computing but recently it. Cetus is a compiler infrastructure for the source-to-source transformation of software programs. Avoiding race conditions, and other challenges of manual directive-based programming approaches such as OpenMP.

There are three software components that we suggest to use in order to work with our book and program codes. For compiling Fortran code, the GNU Fortran Compiler can be obtained free of charge. It is part of the GNU compiler collection, which is an open source compiler project for several programming languages. For drawing graphs within Fortran code, we use the open source software. A nice integrated development environment (short IDE) is. This IDE allows you to edit, compile and run Fortran code within one program. It is easily adaptable to personal needs and available for Windows, Mac and Linux.Don’t worry.
You will not have to find out for yourself how to install all of this on your computer. Instead, we provide installation routines on the following pages, which will install the above components as well as our on your computer. Installation FilesChoose your operating system:.

Programming in C is fun and interesting. In this entire series of C programming tutorial. You will create, edit, compile and execute many C programs. Before we begin to learn about C programs, you must configure your computer with C compiler.
To create and execute a C program you require minimum two software's.
In this post, I will discuss about C compiler and steps to setup C compiler along with CodeBlocks in your machine.
The GCC C compiler
Compiler is a program that checks source code file for syntactical errors and translates the source file to low-level machine code, if it is error free.
Read more about – Compiler and why we need it?
There are many C compilers available such as GCC C, Borland Turbo C, Visual C, Quick C etc. In this entire series of C tutorial, I will work with GCC C compiler.
GCC C compiler is reliable, efficient and popular C/C++ compiler among developers. It is open source and available to download for all most all operating systems. It is pre-installed C compiler in all UNIX based operating systems.
What is CodeBlocks IDE?
CodeBlocks is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) used to create, edit, compile, debug and execute C/C++ programs in single place. It is very powerful IDE for developing C projects.
In this entire series of C tutorial, I will use CodeBlocks IDE to create, compile, debug and execute C programs. However, there are many other IDE's for developing C projects such as Netbeans, Eclipse, DevC++, Microsoft Visual Studio Code etc.
Download and install CodeBlocks with C compiler in WindowsCodeBlocks is available in two variant - with and without compiler. For Windows it comes with MinGW C compiler suite. MinGW C compiler is a windows variant of GCC C compiler.
Download the latest build of CodeBlocks with C compiler from its official website.
Note: You must download the CodeBlocks with MinGW setup executable file.
The download size is about 80MB, which hardly takes 1-2 minutes on good internet connection.

After downloading, run the installer. Installation is simple next...next stuff. The installation wizard will guide you throughout the installation processes.
Configure CodeBlocks and GCC C compiler
On first run CodeBlocks requires few things to gear up. So let us first configure CodeBlocks.
However, if you want to go geeky, compile programs from command line with various
gcc options, then set environment variables for C compiler in Windows (in Linux no need).
Verify GCC C compiler installation and configuration
To verify the above steps. Open command prompt on windows via any of these methods.
In command prompt window type
gcc --version and hit enter. This will show the version information of GCC compiler. On my machine, it shows following output.
If gcc --version results in any error, then go back to the configuration step and configure it properly.
