I am trying to start with pycparser and was trying to run the examples given on the github repo. I only changed the path of the file to be parsed after saving the sample c file locally. I get the following error and am not sure if there is some pre-processing step that I am missing?

('Original error: %s' % e))
RuntimeError: Unable to invoke 'cpp'. Make sure its path was passed correctly
Original error: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
Take a look at this section of the README - you have to point cpp_path to the C preprocessor on your system. For Windows, it recommends downloading a binary build of Clang and using clang -E
