I installed mingw and checked it in cmd by writing c++ --version it runs sucessful but whenever i open my codelite it says could not locate any mingw on your machine i have tried reinstalling both mingw and codelite few times nothing works someone please help me
Tried scanning mingw compiler on codelite but it could not locate mingw and it(mingw) is already installed in my machine and running too help me please
I don't know much about this IDE but this link is probably what you are looking for.

Since the scan failed you will have to manually add the path to your compiler in codelite. The compiler will most likely be in the mingw folder under the name 'g++.exe'.
I need to compile the source code of an application that was successfully compiled using MinGW GCC 4.8.1 the last time. I tried to use the most recent version of the compiler that is available in the MinGW Installation Manager but it doesn't work.
I would like to install the 4.8.1 version but I can't find it in the packages of the Installation Manager. I tried to install it using the command line in windows after adding MinGW to Windows'
mingw-get install "gcc=4.8.1"
But it doesn't work either, some packages seem to not get found by the program and it looks like it's installing the most recent version...
Is there a way to install GCC 4.8.1 on Windows as of today ? I'm on Windows 7 pro and I'm on my computer at work so I can't go too deep in the folders and I don't have administrator rights for everything.
Thanks for your help
Background Info: I am running Eclipse Mars and Windows 10
I'm going to list out all the steps I've taken so far:
Download MinGW
Install MSYS installation for MinGW Developers (I don't think I needed this?)
Install mingw32-base
Install mingw32-base
Install mingw32-gcc-g++
Install msys-base (Don't think I needed this either)
Add MINGW_HOME Environment Variable and MINGW_HOME\bin to Path.
Check versions of gcc, g++, and gdb (all showed they were successfully installed)
However, when I open Eclipse I get two errors indicating that g++ and gcc are not in my Path.
How do I fix or get around these errors?
I have installed Xcode 4.0 (XCode Toolset, System Tools and Documentation components only), but have Netbeans with the C/C++ plugin. However when I try to create a new C++ project in Netbeans it tells me that no compiler was found on my system. The recommended course of action is to install Xcode, which I have done so.
How do I get Netbeans to recognize that I already have Xcode?
Most likely, you reinstall Xcode and this time don't uncheck the option that installs the compiler, etc. under /usr/bin for command line use. What's wrong with just having a full installation of Xcode?
If that doesn't work, it may be an incompatibility due to Xcode 4 installing to /Xcode4 instead of /Developer. You can fix that with a symlink or by installing Xcode 3.
I'm trying to get eclipse to work with MinGW.
I've done the following:
Downloaded CDT for eclipse.
Installed MinGW.
Added C:\MinGW\bin to my path.
Opening a command prompt (CMD) and typing g++ or alike works fine.
I run eclipse, create a "New C++ Project", and only get the option saying "other toolchains".
There's a MILLION tutorials out there saying eclipse should identify MinGW on its own. It doesn't, and I don't know what to do. I've tried reinstalling everying in just about every order posible. Still no luck.
I've also noted some tutorials say something about creating a "Managed C++ Project". I've no such option, all I get is "C++ Project" and "C Project"
edit:
I have eclipse ganymede, windows x86_64, version 3.4.2
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.2-200902111700/index.php
Running the "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers" fails, since there's no x64 version for windows. The x86 version requires x86 JAVA installed as well, and installing two versions of java, gave nothing but trouble in the past.
The instructions for setting up MinGW in Ganymede are located here.
The following are instructions and
links on how to install the current
version of MinGW. Note that these
links may become inaccurate over time
as new versions of MinGW components
are introduced. Please check the MinGW
File Release section for the latest
versions.
Download and run the MinGW setup program, MinGW-5.1.3.exe.
Select download and install the MinGW base tools and the g++ compiler.
You may select the Current or
Candidate version of these tools. You
may also install any of the other
available compilers as well.
Do not install the MinGW Make feature as the MSYS version of make
from step 5 is a more complete
implementation of make.
The MinGW setup program currently does not install the gdb
debugger. To install the debugger,
download the file from the following
location: gdb-6.6.tar.bz2
Extract the contents of the file gdb-6.6.tar.bz2 to the same location
where you installed MinGW.
If you want to use Makefile projects, download and run the setup
program from the following location:
MSYS-1.0.10.exe. MSYS provides an
implementation of make and related
command line tools. This is not
required for other types of projects
with the MinGW toolchain, which use
CDT's internal build tools to perform
the build.
Following this process resolved any problems I had.
I had the same exact problem with Eclipse Galileo and CDT 6.0.1. It turns out that CDT only recognized MinGW when it's located under c:\mingw. I had it in c:\msys\mingw so that was the problem. After I changed that everything worked fine.
The distinction between managed make projects and makefile project was removed in CDT 4.x, I think. Now there is only one type of project, but you can select different builders. CDT includes an internal builder which does not use makefiles and another one which does.
First, save yourself the effort of "reinstalling in every order possible". That is also known as trial-and-error, and will only make you more frustrated. Apply the normal problem-solving skills you have as a programmer.
Given that you have MinGW installed, what happens if you download "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers", start eclipse.exe, and try to create a C++-project with a MinGW toolchain?
EDIT: remember: the key in getting help with problems like these is to produce a minimal example which fails. Also, it would help if you provided URLs to the packages you installed (MinGW, Eclipse, etc.).
EDIT: I just installed CDT using the Ganymede update site, downloaded and installed MinGW from here, and restarted Eclipse, and everything worked fine. I know that doesn't help you, but it does prove that the toolchain detection isn't completely broken. Something is weird on your side.
You could try Wascana Desktop Developer. Its a distribution of Eclipse CDT configured specifically for developing on Windows.
I had the same problem (i.e. Eclipse not finding MinGW on the PATH) after I removed some of the unused files/folders from MinGW. It was ~600 MB and I was tasked to trim it down before adding to source control. I got it down to a workable ~200 MB. When I tried to re-create an Eclipse workspace afterwards, MinGW disappeared from available toolchains. It reappeared after I put the original MinGW install on the path.
