Renaming or Moving the Compiler

You can move or rename the MCW folder just as you would any other Windows folder. However, if you move or rename MCW, or if you remove the contents of MCW and place them in another folder, you must change Miracle C path information to reflect the move. If you do not, the compiler will be unable to to find the files it needs to process your source code.

After moving or renaming the MCW folder, adjust the compiler path information by following these steps:

1. On the Miracle C menu bar, click Options, then Compiler.

2. In the Base path field, use the button to select the current path information.

For example, if you have moved the entire MCW file to the desktop, select C:\windows\desktop\mcw. If you have left the folder in the C:\ directory, but renamed it "Compiler", select C:\Compiler.
