I'm new here. Here's my problem:

I installed MinGW on my Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit Netbook with Intel Atom CPU N550, 1.50GHz and 2GB RAM.

Now I made a file named hello.h and tried to compile it via CMD with the following command: "gcc c:\workspace\c\helloworld\hello.h -o out.exe"

It compiles with no error, but when I try to run out.exe, it gives me following error: "program too big to fit in memory"

Things I have checked:

  • I have added "C:\MinGW\bin" to the Windows PATH Variable
  • I have googled for about one hour, but ever since I'm a newbie, I can't really figure out what the problem is.
  • I have compiled the same code on my 64-bit machine, compiles perfectly, but cannot be run due to 64-bit <-> 16-bit problematic.

I'd really appreciate, if someone could figure out, what the problem is. Btw, here's my hello.h:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void){
    printf("Hello, World\n");
}

... That's it. Thanks for your replies. Cheers, Boris
