[Solved] Getting Geany to compile simple C program...

[SOLVED!!!]

I don't regret making this post, because it helped me notice something that I then tried, and it worked.

Instead of: @Drive:\PortableApps\CommonFiles\MinGW\bin
I used: @Drive\PortableApps\CommonFiles\MinGW\bin

That is, there is no ':' (colon) after the "@Drive"

My program compiles now. Hope this is helpful to others!
