#1072 can't find compiler
I downloaded the latest version today. Upon startup it stated that it couldn't find the gcc compiler. I searched previous tickets and noted #987 which made light of the problem. File names containing
spaces are a fact of life in Windows (and codeblocks itself created such files during the install), so not
being able to find the compiler because the path contains such a file is a bug and needs to be fixed. In the mean time I am afraid to try working around the problem for fear of making other things fail. I need help.
Specifics: Windows 10 on a 64 bit laptop, used codeblocks before a couple of years ago, competent in C++, not so much with Windows, widely experienced in computing - but mostly 30 years ago! Now days just for fun. I really would appreciate a bug fix (and a work around in the meanwhile). Thanks!
Some questions so I can look into it so the issue can be reproduced:
a) What compiler do you have installed?
b) What version of the compiler do you have installed?
c) What is the main bin directory of the compiler you use?
d) what is the URL to download the compiler from?
e) What version of CB are you using? The latest you have access to is not the same as mine.
