GNU C++ Compiler error

[eoredson]

I haven't installed anything to my C drive since the days of DOS 3.11! if I have any choice in the matter (and yes there is some software out there that still gives you a choice) it goes elsewhere, heck at one time I didn't even install the OS to my C drive! tended to confuse the crap out of viruses and hackers when the C drive was empty! I knew if I found anything there it was time to reformat and reinstall.

any hoot...

Comp errors on a fresh clean install(unpacking the zip\rar\7z\ect. is in fact installing) can typically mean an issue with anti-virus(might as well call those viruses anymore) and\or permission issues.(need to kick MS programmers in the neither regions for that headache)

I just downloaded and tried both x86 and x64 versions and had no issue with PRINT "Hello World" anyway. Small issue with the extraction of the Archive but didn't seem to affect anything for compilation. installed in G:\, Running Windows 10 on a slightly beefy Ryzen 9 cpu.

I am pretty sure it is not a virus detection or permission issue. In that case I rely on Defender to take care of detection..

But Ryzen 9 cpus are damn fast. What is your cpu speed at anyway? Mine runs up to 3.90 Ghz.

Found this on CoPilot:

The speed of a Ryzen 9 CPU can vary depending on the specific model. For example, the Ryzen 9 5900X has a base clock speed of 3.7 GHz and a boost clock speed of 4.8 GHz. Another model, the Ryzen 9 9900X, has a base clock speed of 4.4 GHz and a boost clock speed of up to 4.8 GHz
