Runtime Error! when attempting to use newly installed compiler

[cktdesigner]

I am trying to use C::B to write code for an embedded project.  I have multiple targets: One is a local test environment that uses the Cygwin GCC compiler.   This works fine.

The HW embedded target is a MIPS varient that I have a GCC generated tool-chain for.   This tool-chain works fine when used in a standalone (command line) environment.

I have tried to add a target that uses the MIPS GCC compiler from within C::B.  I did this by:
  1. Setting up the compiler path, executable names, and includes, etc. from the Settings->Compiler...  setup
  2. Selecting this compiler for the HW target

To test I select the HW build target, select a single source file and request that the file be built.

C::B Pops up a "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" error box indicating:

"Runtime Error!"

"Program: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\codeblocks.exe"

"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusal way."
"Please contact the application's support team for more information"


Did I miss something in the specification of the target compiler?

Thanks...

In my mind, Code::blocks doesn't need any thing from "visual C++ runtime library". So, I guess that you compiler or other command tool chain need Visual c++ libraries. .

That's not 100% correct, C::B needs MinGW-dll(s), and MinGW uses MSVCRT.dll and there can be the problem.
