Hi, I would like to ask for some help regarding C Compilers in Mathematica.
 
The problem I have is that Mathematica does not recognize the presence of a C Compiler.

When I do CCompilers[Full] it returns:

{{Name->Intel Compiler,Compiler->CCompilerDriver`IntelCompiler`IntelCompiler,CompilerInstallation->None,CompilerName->Automatic},{Name->Generic C Compiler,Compiler->GenericCCompiler,CompilerInstallation->None,CompilerName->Automatic}}

And when I do CCompilers[ ] it returns { }

Also, 

DefaultCCompiler[]

NVCCCompiler

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.

I followed this thread:
http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/5487/how-do-i-get-mathematica-to-recognize-a-c-compiler-on-a-64-bit-windows-machine

and installed two C Compilers:  one via .NETFramework and Windows SDK 7.1, the other one was the 64 bit MinGW.
Unfortunetely Mathematica 8 still does not recognize any C Compiler. 

I tried 
$CCompiler = {"Compiler" -> GenericCCompiler, 
   "CompilerInstallation" -> "C:��Path", 
   "CompilerName" -> "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe"};

After this i tried CCompiler[ ] and the output was:

{"Compiler" -> GenericCCompiler, 
   "CompilerInstallation" -> "C:��Path", 
   "CompilerName" -> "x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe"}

Nevertheless, when I do CCompiler [ ] the result shows nothing again.

Regarding the Microsoft CCompiler, Iâ??m not sure what executable file is appropriate, I read somewhere that it should be cl.exe but I canâ??t find this file anywhere. As you can see I am not very familiar with this subject.

Could you let me know what I am doing wrong here?

I really need to speed up some code.

Thanks in advance

Joao
