MinGW GCC in Windows 7 x64 does not create an executable

Question

I'm having a similar, or possibly the same issue as a few others I have seen, but I am not sure. I am using mingw's copy of gcc directly from the windows command prompt on files in my personal directory, and I have edited the PATH to include C:\MinGW\bin

The following:

gcc -o print print.c

Grants me no output file, or so I thought. I opened up a file browser and sat there while gcc ran, and saw the file appear, and shortly after gcc finished, disappear. I receive no error.

Just running

gcc print.c

yields nothing as well as

mingw32-gcc print.c

Here is my PATH (Cleaned up to fit my screen better):

C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86_64;C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\bin\x86;
C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;
C:\Program Files (x86)\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\Core-Static;
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;
C:\Program Files\Broadcom\Broadcom802.11;C:\Program Files\Broadcom\Broadcom 802.11\Driver;
C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\MinGW\bin

This happens with multiple source files, but here is the source of the one I am working on in case you think that might be the issue:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
    for (;;) {
        int i;
        i = 0;
        int num;

        printf("Please enter a number:\n");
        scanf("%d", &num);
        printf("\n");

        if (num <= 0) {
            return 0;
        }

        while (i <= num) {
            printf("%d\n", i);
            i++;
        }
    }
}

Yes, I know it is really simple, I am just getting started on learning C.

Any ideas?

I'm downloading Code::Blocks right now, and will update if I find out that it works correctly there.

Edit: Requested output ahead

Edit: I get the same issue in Code::Blocks.

Answer 1

I had similar issue where no output files were created.

The following packages were installed at the time : mingw-developer-toolkit, mingw32-gcc-g++, msys-base

To resolve the problem, i installed mingw32-base
