Title: error : invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!].
Post by: jack.x.lee on March 13, 2008, 07:09:20 pm

Hi All,

 I just had installed code blocks 8.02 on Fedora 7.  it can't work correctly, because when compile a file,
a error message (see following)  in the "build log" window. I had installed gcc 4.3.0 before code blocks.

"test - Release" uses an invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]. Skipping...
Nothing to be done.

 on my  Windows XP OS, it works well, but while i install it on my Fedora7, it can not work.
 who can help me?

 :( :( :( :( :( :(

You need to set up our compiler paths and/or executable names correctly (Compiler settings, toolchain executables). Apparently your gcc is either installed in a location where Code::Blocks doesn't find them, or it has a non-standard name.

Thanks, it worked fine :).

A very annoying thing. Maybe packager must check if the thing they are building works well.

It is not a bug in distro or packaging, but a bug in the compiler detection in C::B, it gets fooled when ccache package (compiler cache) is installed. It was fixed in SVN revision 5159.
