invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]? Toolchain path?
Jenna:
Newer revisions of C::B give this error-message:
--- Quote ---The compiler's setup is invalid so Code::Blocks cannot find/run the compiler. Probably the toolchain path within the compiler options is not setup correctly?! Skipping...
--- End quote ---
It might be easier to understand.

Based on the Times I helped users on this issue the three top causes are
1. User does not have an compiler installed
2. C::B is not configured right to use the installed compiler
3. The user did NOT install the Compiler Correctly; example missing part of the MinGW installation
4. The user's project uses a different Compiler than the one they configured.
Edit: Added number 4 on 2010-12-30
Note: Most users never confirmed the fix or the problem; so the above is based on a very small sample size.

I still have a little hope. But if that doesn't work how about implementing an automatic uninstall instead of this message... :lol:

Another feature to be considered is adding the message "WARNING: Search the forum before you post a question about this problem. If you skip the this search step, a kitty will be killed!" :lol:

For a newbie... I don't think so. You may want to ask some people what they think "toolchain path" means. It must be like some sort of road/way, or something in it, that has a chain built with screwdrivers, wrenches and such, right?
My point is, the message is way too technical for the users who come here asking about it. That's why I proposed the link that could go to a Wiki article when that error occurs. The biggest issue seems to be that no one who could write the article can reproduce the problem.
I would also like to propose removing all threads about this problem that have been closed because the poster did not search for an answer. Hopefully, only threads with an answer will remain.
