CodeLite wont detect my (Installed) MinGW32 Compiler, so is there another way to locate it

Question

I have a 32-Bit Windows 7, and dont have plans to change it I do have an installed Compiler that I installed on my desktop because it says do not isnstall it in a folder with spaces in it.. I manually did configure CodeLite, but the compiler doesn't show up, I followed all the links Codelite tells you to visit to download MinGW, so how do I locate the new compiler in CodeLite? Is there another way?

I Manually configured CodeLite I manually tried to configure CodeLite to use the MinGW compiler for 32-Bit devices, and expected it to show up in Settings > Build Settings > Compilers but it didn't.

So my question is how do I "tell" the editor where the compiler is located? I tried doing it by going to Settings > Build Settings > Add Compiler Button but it didn't work so why doesn't it work or if there is another way please tell me.

Answer 1

I had the same problem and using msys2 to install MinGW is a great idea!

Answer 2
