I am writing an Objective C program and i saved it as 'hello.m'. The problem is when i am trying to compile it usig MinGW it is giving an error

gcc hello.m // i used for compiling and it is giving following error

gcc.exe: CreateProcess : No such File or directory

is there any way to fix ..so that i can move forward..

Thank You

  • I progressed a bit further by running gcc with the -v option/(verbose) - this told me that it was looking for as.exe, but not finding it. This seems to be related to binutils/llvm - see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1816469/llvm-mingw-installation-on-vista – Chris Kimpton Feb 04 '11 at 09:34

Use Sysinternals ProcessMonitor from here. What you do is find the .exe name that is doing the compiling under the Process Name column, like gcc.exe. Then look in the Result column and anything that is not a SUCCESS check it out. I think what you are looking for is a NAME NOT FOUND result though. Also, I noticed that when I ran it from a shell, like msys, it didn't show up properly. So make sure to run the gcc compile from the command prompt.

I had this same problem and did what I just mentioned above, I found that gcc.exe was getting a NAME NOT FOUND result for cc1obj.exe. So I made an educated guess and went into my MinGW folder under \libexec\gcc\mingw32\4.5.0 (the version number might not be the same for you) and made a copy of cc1.exe then renamed it as cc1obj.exe. And wala, that fixed the problem.
