Error "The compiler executive is not found"
« on: September 07, 2019, 07:01:47 pm »
I have just started to use code::bloocks .

I have successfully loaded an existing cbp file (code::blocks project file) into the environment .
I already get an error message "Can't find compiler executable in your configured search path's for Intel C/C++ compiler"

I don't understand why code::blocks searches for the Intel compiler, since I have specified under settings>compiler that I use the GNU/GCC compiler .

Please advise,

Thank you for reading,

Hankbonk, aka Henk Vanneste

You must change the compiler in your existing project, the other setting is the default compiler for new projects.

Dear  Miguel Gimenez,

When I try to change the compiler under file>properties, it changes back to Intel C/C++ compiler when I call those properties again, it hasn't changed . Does this really means I have to install the Intel compiler ?

By the way, thanks for your reply, hope we meet again,

Hankbonk.

Project -> Build Options
Change the selected compiler
