mingw32-g++.exe: compilation of header file requested

[kodestiff]

Hello I'm new with just about everything I'm going to mention...

I'm getting this error message after following the WxWidgets tutorials http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxSmith_tutorial:_Hello_world and http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=WxWindowsQuickRef .

I have installed Code::Blocks 8.02 (from Windows installer file) and wxPack 2.8.8.04 (also from installer file).  I had problems compiling the wxwidgets from code  :? , which might just be a very bad omen...   I have installed mingw 5.1.6.

Searching the web suggested that possible problems could be the Global Variable for wxwidgets (directory) or an outdated GCC, but I think both are ok, since I only installed mingw yesterday and set the Global Variable my self.

Is it possible that Code::Blocks is using the wrong GCC?  I also have bloodshed dev-C++ installed and it is quite old...
Could badly set system path cause this?

System:  WindowsXP SP2

Thank you for any help!

Could badly set system path cause this?

In 8.02 release: yes.

You have to make sure, that the bin-directory of the gcc you want to use comes first in system-path.

If you use a recent nightly build, C::B puts the configured gcc in front of the system path it uses while compiling, but only if you use it from inside C::B, of course.

Thank you for replying.

Problem solved!! 

I changed my path to start with C:\mingw\bin , but still not working.

Now I tried a basic hello world (from within CodeBlocs directory) and I got an iostream: No such file or directory error.  Also tried including iostream.h and iostream.cpp

Uninstalled Dev-C++.  (Had to manually delete, since uninstaller said it wasn't installed)

Now Code::Blocks compiler did NOTHING  :shock:

Setting>Compiler>Reset defaults 
found the correct mingw installation.

Yohooo!  hello world and wx compiles and works.

This all would have been easier if I could not only set the GNU GCC compiler as compiler, but also point out the correct installation.  (This was done automatically)

Hi;

Seems to be a path error perhaps since I can see the *.h files from windows file manager. Also from the windows path statement I do not see a reference to any cb paths.
thanks
