Can't Find File Executable In Your Configured Search Path For Gnc Gcc Compiler
Answer :
I'm guessing you've installed Code::Blocks but not installed or set up GCC yet. I'm assuming you're on Windows, based on your comments about Visual Studio; if you're on a different platform, the steps for setting up GCC should be similar but not identical.
First you'll need to download GCC. There are lots and lots of different builds; personally, I use the 64-bit build of TDM-GCC. The setup for this might be a bit more complex than you'd care for, so you can go for the 32-bit version or just grab a preconfigured Code::Blocks/TDM-GCC setup here.
Once your setup is done, go ahead and launch Code::Blocks. You don't need to create a project or write any code yet; we're just here to set stuff up or double-check your setup, depending on how you opted to install GCC.
Go into the Settings
menu, then select Global compiler settings
in the sidebar, and select the Toolchain executables
tab. Make sure the Compiler's installation directory
textbox matches the folder you installed GCC into. For me, this is C:\TDM-GCC-64
. Your path will vary, and this is completely fine; just make sure the path in the textbox is the same as the path you installed to. Pay careful attention to the warning note Code::Blocks shows: this folder must have a bin
subfolder which will contain all the relevant GCC executables. If you look into the folder the textbox shows and there isn't a bin
subfolder there, you probably have the wrong installation folder specified.
Now, in that same Toolchain executables
screen, go through the individual Program Files
boxes one by one and verify that the filenames shown in each are correct. You'll want some variation of the following:
- C compiler:
gcc.exe
(mine showsx86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe
) - C++ compiler:
g++.exe
(mine showsx86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe
) - Linker for dynamic libs:
g++.exe
(mine showsx86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe
) - Linker for static libs:
gcc-ar.exe
(mine showsx86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-ar.exe
) - Debugger:
GDB/CDB debugger: Default
- Resource compiler:
windres.exe
(mine showswindres.exe
) - Make program:
make.exe
(mine showsmingw32-make.exe
)
Again, note that all of these files are in the bin
subfolder of the folder shown in the Compiler installation folder
box - if you can't find these files, you probably have the wrong folder specified. It's okay if the filenames aren't a perfect match, though; different GCC builds might have differently prefixed filenames, as you can see from my setup.
Once you're done with all that, go ahead and click OK
. You can restart Code::Blocks if you'd like, just to confirm the changes will stick even if there's a crash (I've had occasional glitches where Code::Blocks will crash and forget any settings changed since the last launch).
Now, you should be all set. Go ahead and try your little section of code again. You'll want int main(void)
to be int main()
, but everything else looks good. Try building and running it and see what happens. It should run successfully.
Just open your setting->compiler and click on the reset defaults and it will start work.

***How to solve the CodeBlocks environment error.
Go to "Settings"----"Compiler"----"Selected compiler"( GNU GCC Compiler ).
Then, Selected "Toolchain executables".
Now, "( C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW )"
