Title: Keeps asking for compiler on start up
Post by: Decrius on September 15, 2010, 08:43:40 pm
Every time I start up CodeBlocks it asks me for the (default) compiler. As if it doesn't save the setting.

I'm running this on Win7 x86, does anyone have a solution for this problem?

One  of the compilers does not have a master-path-entry (most likely LLVM D, because it's newly added), you can find out which one it is, if it has an empty status in the window you get when starting C::B.

Open "Settings -> Compiler and debugger -> Global compiler settings -> [the invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]] -> Toolchain executables" and run "Auto detect", it will tell you that it can not find a valid installation and whether it should use the default directory, answer yes and the error should go.

Excellent, works like a charm!

devs: Probably C::B could be made to spit some message what has gone wrong...

Last days I'm experiencing this problem too and it is a bit random. Also on windows it happens far more often.
