CAN'T FIND bin FILE FOR GCC

(1/1)

GH3OHIO:
I can't find the bin file for gcc!
I'm trying to run gcc under windows 10. I followed your video of Nov 21, 2015 and got as far as the point where the narrator showed his path to the CodeBlocks folder:
C:\Program Files(x86)\CodeBlocks
I got the same path when I did it on my computer. But then when he opened his CodeBlocks folder, it contained two subfolders (MinGW and share) and a bunch of exe and dll files. When I opened mine, the MinGW folder was missing. Furthermore, I couldn't find anything in the CodeBlocks path that looked like MinGW or bin.
When I tried to build a project to run the hello world program, I got error messages telling me that the IDE couldn't find the compiler. When I tracked the toolchain, I found out that the IDE was expecting to find the missing file directly in the C: disk. It was expecting C:\MinGW, which does not exist. What do I try next?

If you carefully read the C::B download page, then you'd figure out that we provide different versions of Code::Blocks. Versions with and without compiler. Pick the one you need.

 :-[ I have a similar error. But I read the web page, and downloaded the code blocks version with compiler, still get the same error.  :P
