title: g++ is not recognized as an internal or external command, MinGW
body: <p>I am running windows 8 x64. I have just installed the GNU C++ compiler through MinGW.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to test this in the command line I get:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>g++ is not recognized as an internal or external command</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>If I change to the directory c:/MinGW/bin and run g++ it works.</p>
  
  <p>I have set the path to c:/MinGW/bin. This appears when I enter echo %path% and I have tried restarting my computer after changing the path variable.</p>
  
  <p>I've searched the internet and the advice I've gotten back is change the path variable. I have done this and I am looking for a different solution to this problem.</p>
