I installed MinGW; I think I installed the packages that include the GCC compiler.
I then added C:\MinGW\bin to path.

I then opened powershell and changed the current directory to the directory where I want to compile my program.

But the command make is not recognized,

program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct
and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ make
+ ~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (make:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Any help is appreciated!
