Title: Codeblocks + gcc
Post by: ppnl on June 29, 2026, 11:04:22 pm

Is there a "codeblocks-XX.XXmingw-setup.exe" installer that includes a includes a preconfigured GCC compiler? I could not find it but A.I. suggests it is there. But AI...

I did use "codeblocks-25.03mingw-setup" but it did not give me a compiler.

It is included, it's in the directory with Code::Blocks. The automatic configuration for some reason misses it.
If you installed it in the default directory, the folder with MinGW should be in "C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\"

Yes, I found it. Thanks. It took a while because the "program files" folder has a space in the name. That isn't a valid path unless you enclose the name in quotes. Took some fumbling to figure what was going on.

Did somebody forget that in their automatic configuration tool?

And now for the hard part. Getting SFML to work with it.
