Can t find file executable in your configured search path for gnc gcc compiler

Question

My problem is that code  blocks error message tells me that it can t find file executable    in the search path for gnc gcc compiler  Although  I don t know what that means  Also I  typed out some code    include  lt iostream gt   using namespace std    int main void        cout  lt  lt  Hello World   lt  lt endl       return 0       I can t build it or run in code  blocks  What do I need to do    I went on line but I   got some answers that are way over my head  I was able to use code  blocks once before I installed Visual studios express 2013  Visual studios didn t work right either  It kept asking me to repair or uninstall every time I tried to open it  So I deleted it along with code  blocks  Now that I re-installed code  blocks I still can t get to work right    This problem with compilers is taking up all my time and I can t practice learning programming because I can t get any compiler to work right  I need some help  please

This simple in below solution worked for me. http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=17336.0

I had a similar problem. Please note I'm a total n00b in C++ and IDE's but heres what I did (after some research) So of course I downloaded the version that came with the compiler and it didn't work. Heres what I did: 1) go to settings in the upper part 2) click compiler 3) choose reset to defaults.

Hopefully this works

I m a total noob but I reinstalled over the codeblocks giving me these  quot Can t find file executable in your configured search path for gnc gcc compiler quot  errors by downloading  codeblocks-20 03mingw-setup exe  IMPORTANT  make sure it has the  quot mingw quot  in the file download name  that has the compiler build that is required to compile the code which doesn t automatically comes with the main codeblocks editor software download because codeblocks already assumes you already have another compiler installed on your computer  visual studio 2019 or such    Then when I created a new project  console application  and used the defaults to quickly test it out  It gave me errors  So I went to Settings  gt  Compiler  gt  Selected Compiler set to  GNU GCC Compiler  gt  Click on the  quot Tooolchain executables quot  tab  gt  Click on Auto-Detect  gt  Should say  quot C  Progam Files CodeBlocks MinGW quot   gt   Click OK  Build and run a simple hello world code  Should work  If not  look for the  quot MingGW quot  in the C  Program Files CodeBlocks and select it

Fistly  Code Blocks is not a compiler  It is just an integrated development environment    So  you must show the path of your compiler at first   if you dont have a compiler you have to download an install  it is not difficult to find  f e  GCC is good one   If code blocks could not find automatically the path of compiler it is an obligation to show it yourself   But when you install  probably Code Blocks automatically find your compiler   Enjoy

For that you need to install binary of GNU GCC compiler  which comes with MinGW package  You can download MinGW  and put it under C     and later you have to download gnu -c  c   related Binaries  so select required package and install them in the MinGW    Then in the Code  Blocks  go to  Setting  Compiler  ToolChain Executable  In that you will find Path  there set C  MinGW  Then mentioned error will be vanished

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 shows x86 64-w64-mingw32-gcc exe  C   compiler  g   exe  mine shows x86 64-w64-mingw32-g   exe  Linker for dynamic libs  g   exe  mine shows x86 64-w64-mingw32-g   exe  Linker for static libs  gcc-ar exe  mine shows x86 64-w64-mingw32-gcc-ar exe  Debugger  GDB CDB debugger  Default Resource compiler  windres exe  mine shows windres exe  Make program  make exe  mine shows mingw32-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

I had also found this error but I have solved this problem by easy steps  If you want to solve this problem follow these steps   Step 1  First start code block  Step 2  Go to menu bar and click on the Setting menu  Step 3  After that click on the Compiler option  Step 4  Now  a pop up window will be opened  In this window  select  GNU GCC COMPILER    Step 5  Now go to the toolchain executables tab and select the compiler installation directory like  C  Program Files  x86  CodeBlocks MinGW bin    Step 6  Click on the Ok     Now you can remove this error by follow these steps  Sometimes you don t need to select bin folder  You need to select only  C  Program Files  x86  CodeBlocks MinGW  this path but some system doesn t work this path  That s why you have to select path from C   to bin folder   Thank you
