Windows Vista compatible compiler

<< < (3/3)

Szabadember:
Solution:
  1:Place MinGW into the root of the same drive where you save your projects
  2:Add some environment variables to windows
  3:Add X:\MinGW\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5 as additional Path in the compiler settings/Toolchain executables
  4:Add X:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5\include to the Compiler's search Paths
  5:Be happy, because your codeblocks is now Vista ready as long as you don't want to save projects to other drives than the drive where MinGW is installed :(

Szabadember:
I have just noticed that GDB 6.3 is not working with windows vista... :(
I always get:
No source file named E:/Dokumentumok/c++ programozas/CareFreeTagger/main.cpp.
Breakpoint 1 ("E:/Dokumentumok/c++ programozas/CareFreeTagger/main.cpp:29) pending.

Or is that codeblocks fault?

? Code::Blocks runs the same on Vista as it does on XP (for me at least). Are you unzipping a nightly, or using the old install?

C::B  & VSC2005 is business as usual on Vista. I don't know if that counts as a MinGW alternative for you?

darthdespotism:
Finally I have my own problems with Vista. (I was forced to use Vista as my Notebook is only shipped with preinstalled Vista and I do need Win some time ;) )

I installed MinGW and tldragons 4.2 directly over it. Adding C:\MinGW and C:\MinGW\bin to %PATH% g++ --version gave the expected result.

But i tried to build the basic Hello World example both with Codeblocks and on the Commandline and it only resulted in a "mingw32-g++.exe CreateProcess: no such file or directory" (on the cmd which I although started as Administrator I used g++ instaed of mingw-g++)

EDIT://
May be important: As I was only able to force Vista giving me 40GB of the HDD ant I need them for my Ubuntu everythings on my C: - Partition

EDIT:// I finally solved it. running MinGW with -v both, on my WinXP-Box and my WinVista-Box gave me the paths that were required to run MinGW.
