"Could not auto detect installation path of GNU GCC compiler ".
.
What should i do now ?
My OS is = Windows 10 pro 64bit
CodeBlocks downloaded on = codeblocks-20.3mingw-setup.exe

Answer 1

I mean, you can certainly try, I just don't understand why it shouldn't work. I am using 20.03 myself and had no problem with my custom MinGW distribution. If you double-checked that the paths to your bin folder in the top bar as well as the executables are correct and it says nothing else, then I don't think I can help you. Troubleshooting is a bit hard like this, sorry. Maybe someone else stumbling across this has an idea.

Answer 2

Have you already tried setting all the toolchain executables by hand instead of running the auto-detection? You can find them in the bin folder of your MinGW distribution, which is part of your codeblocks folder.

Answer 3

I tried .but its not working .

Answer 4

Should i try VS for coding ?

I also had this problem in my laptop(codeblock) ,actually after installing the codeblock when i opened it first time, i got a popup of 4 options one of them was 1.leave as it is . I clicked another one i don't remember what was that so i did again install then next time i slect leave as it is then i got codeblock workable so you can check this also.
