g++ AND gcc is not recognized as an internal or external command

In the command prompt, neither the g++ or gcc are recognized. I have checked the path variable and it seems fine. Shown below.

C:\WINDOWS\system32; C:\MinGW\bin; C:\Program Files (x86); C:\Program Files

I have checked other topics about this problem and none of them have worked for me. What could be causing this? And more importantly, what information would you guys need to know to help?

I had the same problem. But I realised, I had installed a wrong version. Re-check the version and make sure it is: mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc for windows. The command is : pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc

For those who have mingw codeblocks installed, they should add this path to PATH variable in environment variables after a semicolon :

C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin

May vary with your install directory of Codeblocks

Also i have observed that if u have two paths for maybe two gcc installations in PATH variable in environment variables; You will still encounter the msg :

gcc is not recognised as an internal or external command

(Copying information from comments.)

The fact that your C:\MinGW\bin directory is nearly empty (that's where gcc.exe and g++.exe should be) indicates that you haven't finished installing MinGW.

See MinGW's Getting Started page for instructions.
