How to Compile C Program in Command Prompt?

You will need a C compiler For compiling "C" program via cmd for that refer tho this thread - How to install mingw?

Step -1

Checking Mingw is properly installed or not for that

• Open "cmd" by simply pressing "windows key + R" it will open Run then type "cmd" there then hit "Ok"
• It will open command prompt (cmd) then type

gcc --version

• It will show the installed Mingw version

• If it throws error 

 'gcc' is not recognized as internal or external command

          then u need to install Mingw again by following the above guide properly

 Step-2

• Create a c program and store it in your system. I have written a simple "Hello World" program and stored it in the Desktop. We would be using following code.

• Remember save the file with extension ".c"
• For my case the name of the file is "1.c"
• Now open cmd (Windows key + R & search cmd )
• In cmd type 

cd "location of the c program file"

• For my case the file is in "Desktop"

• Now in cmd type 

gcc "Name_of_the_file.c " -o output_file_name

gcc 1.c  -o hello 

• Now the program is compiled sucessfully  & we can run the program
• Type

  hello.exe

   

         Congratulations, you've compiled & run a C program by using the command line(cmd)!
