Can't find compiler Excutable in your confugured search path's GCC Compiler

(1/2) > >>

revcoyote:
Installed codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup.exe, so yes there is a compiler installed. I know it's not the latest version. I am learning C++ from a book and that is the version they are using and I don't want to get lost. I tried defining the path in Settings/Compiler/Search Directories and where it says Compiler I used C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin. I still get the same error. What am I doing wrong?

BlueHazzard:
I don't think there where a lot changes in the ui, so you can't use 16.02, but there are a lot bugfixes and improvements so i would recommend to update to a newer version...

are you sure you selected the right compiler from the drop down menu on the top of the settings dialog. You have to select the same compiler also if you create a new project...

Are the exes there? Can you run them through the command line? Have you installed a second compiler somewhere?

Try using "C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW" because you are NOT supposed to have it end in bin.

Yes the compiler and it's executables are there that why I had the search point to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin" I had tried with the "C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW" didn't help. The selected compiler is currently set to GNU GCC Compiler. There isn't a selection specifically for MinGW version of the GNU GCC compiler. I did remove Visual studio in case that was a conflict. Wasn't using it anyways. After removing VS I reinstalled Code::Blocks. Still having the same problem. I might have to reinstall VS and take the book back and find one that uses VS since the IDE and compiler are in the same application.
