Noob needd help
« on: November 19, 2010, 05:45:46 am »
I Followed this guide : http://www.cprogramming.com/code_blocks/
installed and followed all the directions.  I tried to compile and run the final product.

I keep getting the same log:

"again - Release" 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...


I am running windows 7 32bit.

If theres any more information you need from me in order to help, tell me and I'll see what i can do.

Did you configure your compiler?

I tried but it says " Could not auto-detect installation path of "GNU GCC Compiler"... Do you want to use this compiler's default installation directory?"
I press OK and it shows C:\MinGW. Which doesn't exist.

So why not do the simple thing: just chose the compilers installation directory manually (if a compiler is installed, if not install it).

I think I tried that also, but it still says it doesn't work.

And when you say install one manually, was that part of the tutorial? I'm sorry for my ignorance but i am very new to this.  :?

You should know, whether it's part of the tutorial or not.
I never read it, and it is nor maintained by us, so you have to ask the authors of the tutorial.

And of course you should know whether you have a compiler installed or not.
Whho else should know what you do on your system.

Did you use the official installer (with mingw-included or not), if yes which version, or are you using a nightly build ?

OK i think i found the problem, looking back i downloaded the wrong version of codeblocks, the one without mingw, so it makes sense as to why the file doesn't exist.

I appreciate your help though, I can see you may be a little frustrated with someone as stupid as me, and I apologize, but thanks anyways.
