Configuring Notepad++ plugin [nppExec] with GCC

Hi there, I'm trying to configure the NppExec plugin in Notepad++ so that it will compile and run my C programs using the Gcc compiler.

Here is the Execute Command that I'm using:

Code:
npp_save
cd "$(D:\MinGW-4.8.1\bin\)" //That's where Gcc resides in my system.
cmd /c del "$(NAME_PART)".o "$(NAME_PART)".exe *.o
gcc -o $(NAME_PART) $(FILE_NAME)
npp_run "$(NAME_PART)".exe

A sample run gives this Message:

Quote:Current directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\npp.6.5.4.bin
cmd /c del "terminate".o "terminate".exe *.o
Process started >>>
Could Not Find C:\Program Files (x86)\npp.6.5.4.bin\terminate.o
<<< Process finished. (Exit code 0)
gcc -o terminate terminate.c
CreateProcess() failed with error code 2:
The system cannot find the file specified.

NPP_RUN: "terminate".exe
- the specified file was not found
================ READY ================

Is there anything wrong with my command?

I'm not a notepad++ user but judging from the output it would appear that you forgot to navigate to your working directory and as such gcc is still looking in C:\Program Files (x86)\npp.6.5.4.bin\ for your source file.

I think this did not work in my command:

Quote:npp_save
cd "$(D:\MinGW-4.8.1\bin\)"

Yes! I used a wrong Syntax.
cd "D:\MinGW-4.8.1\bin\" instead of cd "$(D:\MinGW-4.8.1\bin\)" worked out for me. Removed Braces an $ prefix, and it worked like a charm.
Thanks for the concern @chmod
