Title: get MinGW version
Post by: MoonKid on May 14, 2008, 02:20:19 pm

There are more then one gcc and mingw32-gcc binarys inside my Code::Blocks directory.
How can I found out which one of them are exactly used while building a project?

Either by invoking gcc with --help or reading the manual and learning that -dumpversion will output the version, as will --version.
Alternatively, you can use -v which will output gcc's version and build info, and will keep compiling (the others will stop after dumping information).

Of course does -v putout the version info.

But how can I get it in C::B. I have multible installations of MinGW and need to know while build inside Code::Blocks which MinGW version is used.

Set it in the Compiler Settings

"Settings" -> "compiler and debugger"

Toolchain executable tab.
