Cannot find avr compiler although avr-gcc is installed
« on: August 20, 2021, 02:02:04 am »
Hi, I cannot get code::blocks to find the avr-gcc compiler, the compiler and avr-gdb is in my /usr/bin file.  I attached a screenshot.  Auto-detect (toolchain executables) did not find it.  Using the file browser next to the auto-detect button, when I open /usr/bin the compiler does not show.

Am I missing something (I am a beginner), please help. :)

Just some more information - I am running on Ubuntu 20.04 using code::blocks 20.03 downloaded from flathub.

It looks good to me, what happens when you click OK?

It says "Cant find compiler executable in your configured search paths for GNU GCC compiler for AVR" in a error box in the corner.  I'll try and compile it manually in the command line to see if the error might arise from my compiler.

There has been at least one person saying flathub Code::Blocks is known to not work.

I think TIm is right; search for "flatpak" in the forum (example)

EDIT: Link to flatpak permissions

Thank you, I installed code::blocks using apt get now and it works fine.
