Title: Code::Blocks problem
Post by: The Onslaught on February 15, 2007, 05:22:26 pm

When I try to run a program in code blocks the following message appears:

mingw32-g++.exe: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus': No such file or directory

My PC has windows vista.

Can you help me?, I heard that windows vista is causing problems when people try to run C++ programs in ANY compiler and IDE

This is a known minGW issue, some people are getting it to almost work using symbolic links or copying cc1plus to somewhere. I suggest looking at minGW support sites and groups.

I'm not sure there are problems with every compiler; after all, Microsoft's Visual C++ 2005 was developed concurrently with Vista, so I'd expect it to work fine. At any rate, MinGW does appear to have issues running under Vista with C::B. There are one or two other people who have posted on the C::B forums to that effect; you might try to contact them and ask whether they've found a solution.

(I don't own Vista, and since as far as I know none of the developers do, Vista compatibility might be a while in coming.)
