This maybe because the c compiler is designed to work in linux.I had this problem too and to fix it go to tools
and select compiler options
.In the box click on programs
Now you will see a tab with gcc
and make
and the respective path to it.Edit the gcc
and make
path to use mingw32-c++.exe
and mingw32-make.exe
respectively.Now it will work.
The reason was that you were using compilers built for linux.
