Downloading MinGW and setting Environment variable (path)

Steps followed

• Downloaded the MinGW file from this link http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/.

• After downloading, I installed the MinGW and selected only c and c++ option during my installation option, which downloaded some files from internet and showed the information in cmd prompt.

• MinGW is successfully installed in "C:\MinGW".

• Now the next step is to set the path variable in my Environment.
  
  
• My Computer - Right click - Properties - Advanced system settings.
  
  
• Environment variable - path 

• Select path and press edit.
  
  
• Add the MinGW bin path, so that the command line interpreter will know where to find them.

• Add - ";C:\MinGW\bin" .
  Make sure you add ";" at the beginning of the path.
