Indeed. I get the same problem anywhere I use the name, games, forums, etc. At first I thought it was something in langage difference? But it seems quite some people say/type "Gandolf"

hey, i was using dev-c++ and decided to take your advice gandolf. but i'm kind of stuck at a part of your intructions. after you dl the compiler and add the path (btw i put \bin at the end) and you go into cmd.. i tried changing to the directory of my source file and then i typed in this exactly as it appears. g++ program1.cpp -o program1.exe then i hit enter. and it said g++ is not a valid command :/ any ideas what i've done wrong? |

Are you certain that PATH is set up right? My cmd.exe syntax is rusy, but try something like: "echo %PATH%". |

that command worked and it displayed everything.. ending with MinGW\bin but i dont know where to go from here EDIT: Yes never mind i figured it out... well, what i did was i renamed g++ to mingw and it seemed to recognize that as a proper command. |

Alright, I fixed the path in the tutorial. G++ worked for me, so I'm not sure what caused the problem for you. What version of Windows do you have? |

Is it just that people don't know how to spell? 
I'm using windows xp professional, so that shouldn't be the problem. The problem is most likely on your end since they would not release it with a problem like this. |
