Compiling c program with MinGW causes cc1.exe fata

Question

I installed MinGW-w64 using win-builds. It all went ok but then when I compile a file using

gcc -Wall -o prog.exe main.c

I get this error

cc1.exe: fatal error: Files/win-builds-1.5.0/include: No such file or directory compilation terminated.

I have updated gcc path. I get the same error when I try to build on eclipse. The location where win-builds put all the files is C:\Program Files\win-builds-1.5.0\ and the folder \include\ exists.

My guess is that cc1.exe is trying to access C:\Program Files\win-builds-1.5.0\include but, for some reason it is separating C:\Program of Files\win-builds-1.5.0\include.

How can I get the compiler to work?

EDIT:

Here is the code to be compiled

/*
 * main.c
 *
 *  Created on: 13/06/2018
 *      Author: haslima
 */
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("Hello World");
    return 1;
}

EDIT:

when I run gcc -v -c -o prog.exe main.c I get this output:

Answer 1

From [MinGW]: Getting Started (including bolds):

MinGW may have problems with paths containing spaces, and if not, usually other programs used with MinGW will experience problems with such paths. Thus, we strongly recommend that you do not install MinGW in any location with spaces in the path name reference. You should avoid installing into any directory or subdirectory having names like "Program Files" or "My Documents", etc.

So, the solution is pretty straightforward:

• Uninstall your current version (might not be necessary, but there's no point keeping something broken)
• Make sure to read all installation requirements / notes
• Install it in a SPACE free dir

I should have thought of this sooner, as I don't install stuff in default dirs (e.g. I have MinGW in "c:\Install\x64\MinGW32\MinGW32\7.2.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev1").
