I want to try and learn how to use the C language. Therefore, I downloaded CLion and MinGW as toolchain. When trying to install the compiler, it says "test CMake run finished with errors". Did anybody ever had this problem? What should I do? (At the end of the question- what's written when I click "more" when it says "error"). Or, if you know of any other programs I should download in order to work with C, I'll be happy to hear. Thanks in advance.

When clicking "more" it says:

-- The C compiler identification is GNU 8.1.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 8.1.0
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files (x86)/mingw-w64/i686-8.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v6-rev0/mingw32/bin/gcc.exe

  is not able to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:

  • All you need is a text editor, and a [tag:C] [compiler](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/116368/c-compiler-for-windows). Or, alternatively, use online compilers such as [onlinegdb](https://www.onlinegdb.com/online_c_compiler) – Tony Tannous Mar 19 '20 at 14:28
  • yeah I know I need a c compiler, but it doesn't worl for me and I don't know why... – Lihi Noam Mar 19 '20 at 16:35

    Have you tried to move your project into some other directory, which doesn't contain unusual symbols (like **non-English letters**)? – Tsyvarev Mar 19 '20 at 17:19
  • Can you try running this from windows cmd: `C:/Program Files (x86)/mingw-w64/i686-8.1.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v6-rev0/mingw32/bin/gcc.exe --version`? if it works properly we'll know more – OrenIshShalom Mar 20 '20 at 05:10
  • The easiest way is probably installing Linux (Ubuntu?) on a VM on your windows PC ... Then install anything you want there ... – OrenIshShalom Mar 20 '20 at 05:15
  • for an online course the online compiler is enough... I'll try your suggestions anyway though. thank you all! – Lihi Noam Mar 20 '20 at 14:52
