[solved] Environnement error with "codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup.exe"

[lordkrotos]

Hi every body,

I have some problems with Code::Blocks settings. I've download and installed  "codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup.exe" on my computer. Everything is fine, "MinGW" directory seems to be complete.
I have no other compiler installed on my PC.

But I still have this message: ""Environnement error. can't find compiler executable in your search path (visual c++2010)"



Why the hell does he talk me about visual C++ 2010???

"Settings->Compiler->Selected compiler" is set on "GNU GCC Compiler, and in "Toolchain executables" my computer's installation directory is set on the right directory: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot

What is the CB default Compiler set to?

Good evening Tim,

The selected compiler is set to GNU GCC Compiler.

[BlueHazzard]

And the compiler in your project settings:
Project->Build options->Selected Compiler ?

[lordkrotos]

When a project is open, I check the compiler of the project, wich is "GNU GCC". When I close the project->build option window, the error message talking of "visual c++" appears on the bottom of my screen.
Note: this error message appears even if a project is not open. As soon as I close the window Setting->Compiler, this error message appears.

i would delete default.conf in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\CodeBlocks   (close c::b before) and restart c::b. It will ask you about the default compiler, and you can select gnu gcc...

[lordkrotos]

ok done, but it still doesn't work.

I had this message (I had it 1st time, without understand....now I see better what CB wanted to tell me...)


"After autor-detection, at least one compilers master path is still empty and therefore invalid.Inspect the list below and change the compilers master path later in the compiler options"
(GNU GCC was selected)

[BlueHazzard]

Can you look where the paths in Settings->compiler for t visual C++ 2010 are? And if they are empty you can try to add some path, so that the field gets a valid path? Unless you are using this visual c++ compiler in any project this should not make any difference...

[lordkrotos]

Ok I will check it tonight (unfortunaltly i'am at work now  )

For information: I've uninstalled CB with mingW yesterday evening, I installed mingW alone, and then CB without mingW. At the end of installation, CB tells me he saws mingW on my computer, but tells me again:

"After autor-detection, at least one compilers master path is still empty and therefore invalid.Inspect the list below and change the compilers master path later in the compiler options"


Pfffff 

[lordkrotos]

Here I am again,

I checked every options, visual c++ is not defined anywhere in CB, so there is no path for it. Moreover, what is the funniest, I never had visua c++ installed on my PC. Does anyone have an idea?


Thanks for your help and time!

[BlueHazzard]

I checked every options, visual c++ is not defined anywhere in CB, so there is no path for it. Moreover, what is the funniest, I never had visua c++ installed on my PC. Does anyone have an idea?

Settings->Compiler->Dropdown menu:Selected compiler Set to Microsoft Visual c++ 2010 -> Toolchain executables make clear that there is a valdi path (it doesn't need to be the path to a c++ installation, just a path to some folder)
Make sure to change the "Selected compiler" back to GNU GCC Compiler.

If this makes no difference than i would suggest to completely remove c::b (also the folder in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\ ) and try to reinstall
If this also does not help, try to install Mingw seperately and use a c::b nightly build...
As far as i can tell you are the first with this problem, and so it has mostly something to do with your setup...

After this i'm out of ideas....

[lordkrotos]

Whooooooo yeeehaaaa!

You know what? It works!! Thanks a lot BlueHazzard!! I didn't understood what CB tried to tell me!!


Let's code now!!

(huhu... let's learn to code in fact!!)

[BlueHazzard]

Whooooooo yeeehaaaa!
You know what? It works!! Thanks a lot BlueHazzard!! I didn't understood what CB tried to tell me!!

what worked? (if others have the same problem it would be nice to know exactly what helped)

[lordkrotos]

You're right.

I did what you tell:

Settings->Compiler->Dropdown menu:Selected compiler Set to Microsoft Visual c++ 2010 -> Toolchain executables. Make sure that there is a valid path.
After that, don't forget to set the default compiler as  gnu gcc.


What was disturbing CB was that the defaut folder for visual c++2010 didn't exist on my PC, even if I would not use this compiler. So I put an existing path on the settings, and because we set gnu GCC as defaut compiler, CB didn't see anything!!
