How to install MinGW (W10)

[codemonster]

Hello,
I have a Question regarding the installation of MinGW with a new installation of codelite 14 (Windows 10 / 64).
When I install codelite there is a little window to install or search for MinGW. With "install" I downloaded MinGW from sourgeforce. And then? How to install Mingw so that Codelite can search and find a Mingw-Installation?.
Weeks ago I installed regulary MinGW witht mingw-get-setup.exe on C:/mytools/mingw but this Installation also wasn't found by the function "search". There is also no possibility to insert a path.

Thanks for helping

Hi,

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw- ... nstall.exe
… and installed this...

… but same result. Codelite "Scan" don't found a mingw -Installation.

If CodeLite does not auto detect your MinGW, you can tell it where to find it.
Open:

Settings -> Build Settings -> Click on the plus "+" button at the top left and, point CodeLite to the directory that contains gcc.exe/g++.exe and it should pick it from there
