(it too is a big white box, not a button) Install Git Then click on “Install Now” (big white box, not really a button) and after installation, “select the option to disable the MAX_PATH length limit”. Your version might be different based on when you are following these instructions.ĭouble-click on the installer and BEFORE installing be sure to check the box Add Python 3.9 to PATH.
Install PythonĬlick on the Python Downloads on Shawn’s site then in the blue box at the top of the screen, right under “Download the latest version for Windows”, click on Download Python 3.9.6”. Make sure you click on the second option “Add CMake to the system PATH for all users” and have it install to the default location “C:\Program Files\CMake". As we are installing version 3.21 (past 3.20), you can ignore the “bug in CMake version 3.20” message and download 3.21. Go to the second section Binary distributions: and download the msi file for Windows. MinGW_Setup defaults Note Following installation of MinGW, be sure to add:Įcho mingw32-make %* > C:\ARM\mingw\mingw32\bin\make.bat The installation folder is C:\ARM\mingw and use the defaults shown below: Once the installer is downloaded, double-click on it to begin installation.
Click on that link, then click on Sourceforge, which appears under Mingw-builds. On that page, there is an link entry in the table MingW-W64-builds with a host of “Windows”.

Use File Explorer to create a folder structure as recommended. Check on this page for any issues, I found. Having both Shawn’s site and this page open (use tabs) helps, as well as following his directions.
These steps will be identical to Shawn’s, however, I’ll point out any issues which I found. I recommend going slow and following the steps exactly. Installing on Windows is more complicated than installing on Linux or macOS. In the place of VS Code, we will use Notepad++. My approach will be to follow that of Shawn Hymel’s without the VSCode part as well as what has already been published via the Guide. If you haven’t read it, please read Read This First… before you continue.Īs I have said before, I do not like to use VS Code, nor do I believe that it is a good tool for students beginning to learn how to develop embedded C.
