Basic help needed with Build

<< < (2/2)

Yes you need to change it. Go to Settings|Compiler and Debugger|Toolchain Executables, and use the ... button to locate the installation root directory for MinGW GCC. You may also need to change the program files in the same dialog. And I personally would not use MinGW GCC directly, but instead that supplied by TDM at http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/

Thank you!

Do I need to change the C compiler from "gcc.exe" to another executable file? I dont know what the MinGW GCC executable file is called.

I am also downloading the tdm version.

Rainboy56:
It works...thanks for all of the advice.

I had been searching through the archives and couldnt find the answer. I appreciate you helping a newbie!

Glad we could help. I was going to say, there was nothing I have ever needed to adjust. It gives you a choice if you choose the GNU GCC and its automatically using MinGW. It would show you a choice of C / C++ depending on how you open a new blank project.

But hey, if you got it to work, good job. :)
