cacb: What about the previous nightly?

cacb:
I have had these issues for a while, only older nightlies work properly.

I just got an idea that somehow C::B now requires MinGW and GCC to be installed, whether you use it or not. I think I can confirm that suspicion. I had tried to edit away the GNU GCC entries from the default.conf file, but they kept coming back no matter what I did. So now I went and downloaded/installed MinGW with gcc etc., and installed it to C:\MinGW as is the default.

Then the error messages go away. C::B is also more responsive after I installed MinGW. The thing is that I am not going to use those tools.... and I think it should be allowed to use C::B without requiring MinGW installed. I have of course mingwm10.dll in the same dir as C::B, but there should be no need for anything more, and it used to be like that for years.

If I delete everything under C:\MinGW, the errors return.

I think there is now an expectation in C::B that gcc is installed, and I think it is a bug.

@cacb:

What is the CB default compiler while you are having the problem?

I am Installing MSVC 9.0 express to see if I can duplicate the issue on my home PC.
Might have to wait till work to good results; because, I have many copies of MinGW GCC on my Home PC.

Edit: I could not duplicate the issue at home; maybe, I will be able to do it Monday at work.

(Perhaps the simplest way would be to have a virtual installation with a fresh Win XP/7 install to try the configurations of all the users who complain about bugs on the forum ? It could avoid to mess up your own PC.)

@Tim S.

On this particular machine (XP SP3) I have installed MS Visual Studio Express 2010 (=msvc10) and MS Visual Studio Express 2008 (=msvc8), i.e. the free versions only.

Since I have been using different machines with different compilers installed (at work, the full non-free versions of VS2010 and VS2008) and since at one stage I was using VS2010 on one machine and VS2008 on another at the same time, I have made a "generic MS compiler" in C::B called "msvc" which is  just a clone of the currently preferred MS compiler, and "msvc" is then always the default C::B compiler when running under Windows. My C::B projects refer to the msvc compiler, so they will work with whatever is installed.

I hope I am not confusing the issue, I am just trying to give you the full picture.

Edit: msvc maps to MS Visual Studio Express 2010 in this case
