can't find compiler executable in your search path (GNU GCC compiler)
pb910:
Hi,
I've been trying for 1 and a half hours to set code blocks up, I've tried various downloads, and i've searched on the internet for a while but could not understand the material.
I am getting the following error messages "can't find compiler executable in your search path(GNU GCC compiler)"
I downloaded the version of codeblocks that came bundled with minGW, so I thought that it would have came with a compiler?
I have very little knowledge about compilers, codeblocks, or operating systems.
I am using Windows 7. I downloaded the 3rd download on this page: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26#windows .
Thank you.

I had a similar problem. Please note I'm a total n00b in C++ and IDE's but heres what I did (after some research)
So of course I downloaded the version that came with the compiler and it didn't work. Heres what I did:
1) go to settings in the upper part
2) click compiler
3) choose reset to defaults.
Hopefully this works :-\

Unfortunately it did not work for me.
ANy other tips that might work. I've done what you have said installed and tried other compilers.
Please help
