There are 4 ways to tell codelite to use a different MinGW toolchain:
Lets assume that your current MinGW is 4.7.1, installed under C:\MinGW-4.7.1 and you wish to move to MinGW-4.8.1 which is installed under C:\MinGW-4.8.1
So to do this, we have 4 options:
Option 1: use the the compiler environment variables
From the main menu, go to: Settings -> Build Settings -> Compilers -> gnu g++ -> Tools
Update the "PATH environment variable" field to include the bin folder of the new installation like this:
Hi Eran, did you ever think of adding a Gcc Profile for user choices in Drop Menu?
Below is the CFree's screen picture, people can define compilers and choose one.
Developing new features takes time. The content for 5.4 is almost closed and I also know what I want to add for codelite 6.0
You are welcome to download the sources and add features (patches are most welcomed!)
@wwashington: You may create a 'new compiler' to have several version of gcc (using option 1 or 4).
then you change your compiler in the project settings (So you can switch between gcc 4.7 to 4.8 or clang...).
