Title: Compiler Flags GONE!
Post by: joergh on November 12, 2016, 03:30:24 pm

I just updated my Win 8.1 and now I suddenly don't have any Compiler flags! Image attached.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Cheers,
Joerg

I had this once; and I deleted a file to fix it.
Not sure what file it was; it might have been the default config file.
You might try using the GUI reset command to see it that will fix it.

Settings -> Compilers
Click on Button: Reset Defaults

Sorry, didn't work. Still no compiler flags:

Edit2: MY next post is likely a safer one to do before the steps in this post.

Then, exit out of Code::Blocks

Open the folder %APPDATA%
Open the sub folder Roaming\CodeBlocks or CodeBlocks.

Rename the file default.conf to something like default.conf.old

Last restart Code::Blocks

Edit: I use WIN+R to open the %APPDATA% folder.

You can also try deleting the xml files in %APPDATA%\Roaming\CodeBlocks\share\codeblocks\compilers

Great! I renamed default.conf, restarted CB and added my compiler and all compiler flags are now there!

Thanks!

If it happens again please try to remember the steps that caused it and report back.
