Using a compiler (mingw/ gcc)

Hi, I have installed gcc V10.3 as described in some post, installed it and then installed MinGW toolbox. But when strating Scilab “WARNING: MinGW Compiler not detected.”
I copied all kind of paths in the path-variable of windows… Nothing works!
What should I do?

Did you logoff/login windows after installiing the Gcc package ?

Yes, even restarted…

Hello,

I can give you a temporary solution before the package is updated. At the installation the gcc package used to define the EQ_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable and it may possible that recent version don’t do it any more. I suggest to do it using the method described at the following URL: Set Environment Variable in Windows {How-To} | phoenixNAP KB using the " Set Environment Variable in Windows via GUI" method. The value of EQ_LIBRARY_PATH should be

C:\users\login\gcc\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib

where login has to be replaced by yours and drive letter should be eventualy changed. Once the environment variable has been defined I suggest that you logout/login before restarting Scilab.

A new version of MinGW toolbox has been released:

Starting from this version, detection of the Equation Solutions Gcc package will work out-of-the-box.
