["CompileError: command 'c:\\\\mingw\\\\bin\\\\gcc.exe' failed with exit status 1\n"]
<p>I tried all the options to make <code>mingw32</code> compiler work, but every time I get this error </p>

<blockquote>
<pre><code>CompileError: command 'c:\\\\mingw\\\\bin\\\\gcc.exe' failed with exit status 1\n
</code></pre>
</blockquote>

<p>and don't know how to fix it. </p>

<p>Steps that I have done: </p>

<ol>
<li><p>Installed Anaconda 2.7 win 32 bits (Although my computer is 64 bits, but since the python is working I assume it should not be a problem) </p></li>
<li><p>Installed Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7</p></li>
<li><p>Installed <code>mingw32</code> and added to system environment path (I tested at command prompt by calling <code>gcc</code> and it is working)</p></li>
<li><p>Created <code>distutils.cfg</code> in <code>C:\Python27\Lib\distutils</code> folder</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I appreciate if someone could help me on this. </p>
