invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!] Error

(1/3) > >>

jacksunny:
I continue to get the following error message:

"SayHello - 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...

Because of this I cannot use C::B for anything. I tried searching Google and went through pages of results. I watched a YouTube video on how to set it up but nothing will work
I am running C::B 10.05. Please help!!! Thanks

MortenMacFly:
Did you search the forums?
Did you install a compiler at all?
Did you do verify what the error message tells:

???

jacksunny:
Yes, Yes and Yes. That's what I don't understand. On other forum posts people ask the same question and they are told something like: Make sure the compilers installation directory is set to C:\CodeBlocks\MinGW or something similar and it works for everyone else, just not for me.

Ok, some questions:
- what platform? (Windows?!)
- where did you install Code::Blocks into?
- what setup did you choose (the one bundled with compiler or without)
- where is your GCC (MinGW) compiler installed?
- where do you find the following executables:
  - mingw32-c++.exe
  - mingw32-g++.exe
  - mingw32-gcc.exe
- what did you setup in the global compiler options?
  - what tool chain path's exactly?
  - what names for the executables exactly?

I am running Windows 7 64-Bit with Service Pack 1 Installed

Code::Blocks is installed into my C: drive (The YouTube video I watched said I should install it in there and not in the "Program Files" folder )
I chose the one bundled with the compiler.

The GCC Compiler is in the folder C:\CodeBlocks. I also downloaded the GCC Compiler separate and put it in C:\MinGW 

Those executables are all in C:\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin

The tool chain's exact path is C:\CodeBlocks\MinGW

The names for the executables are:
C Compiler - mingw32-gcc.exe
C++ Compiler - mingw32-g++.exe
Linker for Dynamic Libs - mingw32-g++.exe
Linker for static Libs - ar.exe
Debugger - gdb.exe
Resource Compiler - windres.exe
Make Program - make.exe
Thank you very much for your help.
