Title: Build and Run!
Post by: Capt volcan on May 27, 2011, 06:23:02 am

I've gone through many posts relating to Build and Run problem. But I couldn't find a solution for my problem

I just started learning programming and was advised to use Code::Blocks. But the thing is, every time I press Build/Build and Run/Run nothing happens. The only change I see is in Build log which says:

Quote

"Software - Debug" uses an invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]. Probably the toolchain path within the compiler options is not setup correctly?! Skipping...
Nothing to be done."

Whats the solution?

• Be sure to have installed a compiler
• make sure the compilers installation path and the executables are set correctly in "Settings -> Compiler and debugger -> Global compiler settings -> [your compiler] -> Toolchain executables"
• make sure your project uses the compiler
• or (for single files without a project) make sure the compiler is set as default compiler
