This mailing list is about development *of* GCC, not *with* GCC, so your
question would be better suited to the gcc-help list (which is for help
using GCC) or some other forum about Windows command-line use.
At a guess, I'd say it sounds like you need to set your path variable,
or give the full path to GCC, but I never use Windows for anything
serious so I wouldn't know.
Finally, if you want anyone to help you, you'll probably need to give
more information than that. If you want someone to take time to help
you you should at least take the time to explain exactly what errors you
got.
Good luck,
