invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]? Toolchain path?

(1/4) > >>

Sethpaladin1:
"Seth2 - Debug" uses an invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]. Probably the toolchain path within the compiler options is not setup correctly?! Skipping...
Nothing to be done.

That is the exact message I recieved, and any compiler I use has the same message. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? I didn't even change the script from the "Hello World" starter script.

Edit: This message appears under the Build Log tab under "Logs and others", This is Code::Blocks 10.05, And I have tried modifying some of the toolchain executables, but nothing I do seems to work, and I am rather new to all this, so I have no clue as what to do...

Hm, What about searching for the "invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]" using the forum's search engine or even better directly in google?

Every forum has the rule "search before posting" and you've violated it, as probably 100-200 other people, that have created the same thread as you did!
Also, you've violated another rule by not specifying your compiler and os versions!

Ceniza:
At least he read the 'toolchain' part, or so it seems, yet he does not know what it is. How hard would it be to provide a link in the log that opens the compiler settings and takes the user to the toolchain tab? Probably a message in there that gives the user an idea of what to do with it,  or perhaps a button that shows a dialog with a longer explanation of what it is all about. A link to a sticky thread that explains it would also work (kind of a kb).

If we can give the user a better solution in the IDE itself (probably with the link), that will hopefully save us from scaring off all new users who do not search before posting.

[edit]
Now that I think of... the link could send the user to an article in the wiki, which could work as our kb-like thing.

I agree; but, I have never been able to duplicate the problem without doing something really stupid; so feel free to write an Wiki page on the problem if you know exactly what most newbies are doing wrong. After having a Wiki page then would be the time to add the link to it.

I haven't had that problem, so I would not be able to write that one. However, I remember seeing a video in YouTube explaining how to install Code::Blocks and what to do in case that error occurred (it occurred in the video). I think the link was somewhere in the forums...
