New compiler, old compiler information left in code::blocks build log.

[nore]

Hi all,

I recently installed a new compiler from winlibs after much research into 32-bit executable formats (x86) and processor architectures. I experienced some trouble working with a certain .dll and thought it best to go the route of working with 32-bit compiling. I first tried going the route of using a distribution of MinGW with SJLJ exception handling which did not end well, and finally decided to work with a 32-bit compiler instead. All is working well--no troubles; but I notice that when compiling programs within codeblocks there is a string of text at the top of the build log that references an include path left over from my previous actions. Having re-installed the program and ensuring that all search directories do not include this path, I do not see the cause of this text appearing.

Code

i686-w64-mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -Wall -m32 -g -Wall -m32 -g -IC:\mingw64_sjlj\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include

The second entry shows the extraneous text.

Check the global compiler settings.

Settings -> Compiler ->

Edit: Check the project compiler settings

Project -> build options ->

I didn't see any left over compiler information is the project/build options.

If you post a full re-build log, someone might see something.

Or, you can just delete the Code::Blocks config files when C::B is shutdown and that would likely fix the stuff you did and forgot where you did it.

Edit2: Remember to do all the toolchain settings needed.

I don't see anything in the config file regarding the error either:

The build log seems to include the old compiler directory as a path (-I) though it is not included in codeblocks' global directory or project-specific build options.

Create a new project and see if the include still exists.
If it does not you know the problem is located in the project file.

This pinpoints the issue.

Code

i686-w64-mingw32-g++.exe  -o bin\Debug\console.exe obj\Debug\main.o  -m32 -m32  
Output file is bin\Debug\console.exe with size 121.67 KB

I will look around in the project files.

The issue has been solved. After selecting the "Properties..." option for the project and then "Project Build Options" I received a message stating that the old compiler could not be found. Selecting the new compiler displayed the standard project-wide compiler options where I could navigate to the search directory and clear out any old information.
