The Miracle C Compiler runs under MS-Windows targeting the command line / DOS. All traditional C syntax is implemented, including record (struct/union) and enumerated data types, int, long and floating point data types, user type definition. There is a comprehensive library of functions; some example programs demonstrating compiler features; and Windows Helpfile documentation is supplied with the package.

Miracle generates object for Microsoft or compatible linker (such a link facility is builtin to the Workbench). The workbench enables the user to develop code with multi-window editor featuring syntax colouring, from which write, compile and build operations are launched.

MCW is an ideal beginner's compiler due to its ease of use, while provision of source code to registered users gives an insight into real world compiler design for a common operating system.


The compiler is currently at revision 3.2. If you have any questions about the current release, send feedback.

Installation instructions
  1. Download the mc32shr.msi file, choosing Save-to-Disk. (361 kb, approx 2 minutes at 56k).
  2. Double-click on the file you downloaded in step (1). (Microsoft's installer technology is builtin to recent versions of Windows such as win2000, winMe and XP). If it does not start installing, you will need to visit Microsoft's website to download their free MSI installer package for Win/98, or NT4. (You need only download MSI from Microsoft's site once, then it is available for other packages using these tools.)
    Once you have downloaded MSI, continue by double-clicking on the file from step (1).
  3. Follow the installer prompts. If you have installed in a directory other than C:\Program Files\Miracle C, run the compiler and issue Options/Compiler to set the directory.
  4. You're all set! Run the compiler. Try out the example programs. Enjoy!
Please look at the Miracle C Installation and Use Guide, a contribution of web-pages from a third party. (Note that in addition to this online resource, Miracle C contains comprehensive language and library Windows helpfiles).
