Title: Official 32-bit release of Code Blocks is defective and does not work at all
Post by: pocoloco on May 12, 2022, 06:43:00 am

If you go to this URL: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries/ which is the official download URL of the IDE you will see a list of available binaries.

If you download codeblocks-20.03mingw-32bit-setup.exe and then install it a very interesting thing happens. Immediately after opening the IDE you will be faced with this error message:

When going to the compiler settings section you can easily see what the problem is. Here's the executable file names CodeBlocks is looking for:

And here are the actual executables that are shipped with the official 32-bit release of the program:

Can you see the problem?
The executables that the IDE is looking for do not exist. There is no such thing as mingw32-gcc.exe or others.
I don't know which ancient version of GCC used these names.
But it's fascinating that not even a single person from the developer team has taken the time to actually install their own official 32-bit release to immediately find out and fix this problem.

I would suggest that you do the following fully:1) At the top of the https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/board,1.0.html forum read and go through the "IMPORTANT! READ THIS BEFORE ASKING FOR HELP! (https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,246.0.html)"
2) If you do want help then do not antagonize devs who are not paid.3) Learn to use the search facility.
I will be ignoring any posts from you if you have not fully done the steps above due to item 2) above.
