This video was awesome. I needed GCC for my class this week, and the link they sent was confusing. Your tutorial was straight forward, explained every step and the reasoning behind it, and got me to print the same thing you did at the end. Thanks a lot, this really helped!

6 months old video where installing 8 year old version of gcc. Make a video of installing the latest release gcc directly from GNU.

This wasn't working for me because I wasn't hitting the last ok on the System Properties window when adding the variable path. Just thought I'd comment in case anyone else runs into that issue.

Hey Nik, I'm getting stuck at pasting the file into path, it doesn't give me the option to paste anything once I select "New". Do you know what is going on?

The GCC version is outdated and I think that mingw project is deprecated so use msys it's newer way of doing it
