Code Block compiler: "No compiler found" Fix

[Inventor]

Hello all,

This is my first guide on how to fix the: '"test - Release" uses an invalid compiler. Skipping... Nothing to be done.' Error.

Open Code Blocks, and navigate to: Settings/Compiler and debugger. then go to: Toolchain executables. Click on: Path (...) and select your compiler. Mine was MinGW located in "Codeblocks/MinGW"
Now open a new project and test it out. It should compile properly!

I hope this helps!

I simply just don't recomend using Code Block, its the future Dev C++ [outdated]
I recomend using VS2010.

Well, nice response Atthackers. Not contributing to this thread and all.

And @Inventor1, heh is that really a common issue for people? It's just selecting your installed compiler suite. Usually the default in MinGW, but you can also use Intel/MS/Borland and a few others. Just a matter of setting the paths!

I know of several people who needed help with this.

huh..im guessing they weren't too tech savvy or experienced programmers?

Not really, the last update was May 30th.

What do you expect from an open-source project? They have no deadlines to complete like MS, and they turn out a more quality product IMO. I dislike VS 2010 because it lacks basic code completion.

Yeah, my first C teacher recommended Code::Blocks and a few people keep trying to get me to switch to VS because their code compiles differently than mine. I'm pretty sure it's only because I've got my Code::Blocks to adhere to some strict standards, though.
