codeblocks environment error

<< < (2/3) > >>

John Voelkel:
at toolchain I see C:\MinGW  at C++ compiler it shows mingw-get.exe

I think I know what a file is but I am not sure where the filename is of the CB exe I installed.
Can I just do a search for it?

oBFusCATed:
mingw-get.exe is not a compiler, but the installer for the mingw as far as I know.
The compilers are named something like mingw-gcc.exe mingw-g++.exe.
Pressing the auto detect button might fix things if the compiler is really installed and available.

John Voelkel:
goto "Settings->Compiler...->Global compiler settings->GNU GCC Compiler->Toolchain executables" and fix the compiler's setup.
Skipping...
Nothing to be done (all items are up-to-date).
This is the message in the section "logs & others"
I will look for the compiler you list.  When I press the auto detect is says it cant find
the compiler  it says "could not auto detect installation path for GNU GCC compiler

Or install Code::Blocks IDE that ships with a Compiler. It has mingw in its filename.

Thanks Tim, I have on my desktop an icon "MinGW" installer.  I have tried many things and think I did install that but will try again.  My problem seemed to start after I installed Visual Studio so I uninstalled it, all 104 megs.  I am surprised that CB worked after I first installed it for several weeks.  Now, after uninstalling CB and after removal of Visual Studio and then reinstalling CB just like before it still gives me the Environment error.  What is a name for a Code::Blocks IDE with mingw in its file name?
I am going to take a C++ online course and am trying to get ready.  John Voelkel
