Basically all projects are run only on Clionprojects file. BUT if I save the project in different file, then it shows me that I need to add configuration.
I installed cygwin and all what I need like gcc-core, gcc-g++, gdb, make.
In the console it says:
CMake Error: The source directory "file path"" does not exist.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
CMake Error:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Selected CMake might be incompatible with the Cygwin environment.
In order to run on Cygwin, CMake needs to be specially compiled.
Please select either CMake bundled with CLion or CMake from the Cygwin installation.

in the new version of putty there is no Makefile.vc or project file for visual studio. How can I compile putty under visual studio 2019? can someone help me?

I tried to open the windows folder in visual studio with the following error:
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error CMake Error at C:\Usersuser\Downloads\Compressed\putty-src\windows\CMakeLists.txt:3 (add_sources_from_current_dir):
Unknown CMake command "add_sources_from_current_dir". C:\Users\user\Downloads\Compressed\putty-src\windows\CMakeLists.txt 3
You don't need to open Visual Studio or any IDE to compile the executables.
Download cmake and make sure Visual C compiler is installed.
Unzip the .zip file, open a command prompt where the readme and CMakeLists.txt reside
Then, as the readme states:
run these commands in the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
In the Debug directory, you'll find a lot of .exe files.
Then, to install in the simplest way on Linux or Mac:
cmake --build . --target install
I didn't need that part. I suppose that it copies the executables & other files somewhere in the path.
Problem with creating a distro using Microsoft compiler is that the executables then require a lot of Microsoft runtime DLLs. For instance if you deploy the executables on other machines it may not work.
An alternative is to use gcc and make to build the executables.
First:
install a recent gcc for windows
install make
Installing a recent MinGW distribution should do it. Personally I used another gcc distribution so I had to grab make too.
Now, I followed Setting default compiler in CMake, the key part being to enable mingw makefiles: -G "MinGW Makefiles", else cmake ignores your compiler requirements and keeps on using Microsoft compiler.
cmake -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=/path/to/make/make.exe -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/path/to/gcc/gcc.exe -G "MinGW Makefiles" .
Note that specifying full paths require that / are used. Backslashes conflict with escaping in cmake/make files.
Then
cmake --build .
I am very new to coding (trying to teach myself C). I have some experience with MatLab, but I understand it is very different from C. I have Windows 10 with the newest version of Visual Studio Code (VSC) with the Run Code Extension and git extension (not sure what git does, but VSC prompted me to install). I am now familiar with the text editor, but do not know how to compile/run my code (apologies if I'm butchering the terminology, again, a newby). One friend recommended I determine the location in which the desired text file is located, type "gcc filename.c", enter, type "./a.out", and then the program should run. (Said friend has a Mac and I supposed the execution commands are different?) Regardless, I encountered "Run Code" extension on my google adventures and follow the steps I've seen online, but I am still getting the error pictured.
I can see how this would be an especially basic question, but if anyone can offer assistance/advice, I would be extremely grateful!
Thanks, All.

P.S. In case the image doesn't load/work for whatever reason, this is the error:
"'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
Works perfect in Visual Code. You need the following:
C/C++ extension in Visual Code.
msys64 installed in C:\
Add path to msys64 bin folder in environment variable
Instructions:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.cpptools
Important the msys64 path doesn't contain spaces so don't install it in Program Files.
You can search "Edit system environment variables" from the windows button, press button Environment Variables, and then add it as a System variable "Path". For me its located in
C:\msys64\mingw64\bin
Hey,,,
It will work for you I believe
Blockquote
First: open the link: https://www.msys2.org/
Go to the installation and download the installer .. install the exe file.
search mingw in windows search(windows start)
there is an app named--> MSYS2 MinGW {64/32}-bit
run it as administrator
Found command shell ---> type: pacman -Syu
Will ask you for some installation click on Y
Then again go to the same app MSYS2 MinGW {64/32}-bit and run as admin
and write--> pacman -Ss gcc (in shell that opend after click)
after clicking there will be bunch of things and now you have to care about your windows arch.. if it is 64 bit then write---> pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc (and if its 32 you will find something like that where 64 will replaced by 32 in bunch of commands that are showing in your shell)
after executing this command gcc will be installed in your system to check write: gcc --version || g++ --version
After that to install the debugger write pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gdb
to check write: gdb --version
**Every thing got installed in your system now find the mingW file or mysys2 file on C drive(whereever you r mingW file got saved) go the the minGW 64 || 32 accroding to your operating system there is a bin folder click on that and copy the path inside the bin folder and save it in environment variables path **

Enjoy vs code
My recommendation
You are on Windows right? So you can just install Visual Studio IDE (follow this tutorial). Which is better than vs code. This tutorial is for C++ but it works for C as well. Because C++ uses the same compiler as C but with some more things(simple explanation).
The solution for your problem
You are getting the massage 'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file because you do not have the gcc compiler installed on your computer. But if you want to install it, you can follow this tutorial. But I highly recommend you use Visual Studio IDE which I mentioned above.
Type gcc --version in the command prompt to check whether the C compiler is installed in your machine.
If it is installed then try adding gcc to the environment variables using this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLh84CmdBJ0
If it is not installed then install it using instructions using this link:
https://www.guru99.com/c-gcc-install.html
and then add it to the environment variables using the link above.
If it is installed and not recognized by VSCode then try to run VSCode from CMD by typing code in CMD.
I have a source code tree as follows
daily_build
->src_dir1
->src_dir2
..
We have been using cmake-gui to configure and generate for Visual Studio 8 2005.
However, on a separate machine, we are trying to automate the build process for nightly builds.
In order to this we are trying to run cmake from command line as follows
1) vcvars32.bat
2) svn co <url path> D:\daily_build
3) cd daily_build\build\gen\host
4) cmake -G"NMake Makefiles" D:\daily_build
However, CMake exits with error
CMake Error :CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "NMake Makefiles"......
However, in the very same prompt, I can run cl.exe and nmake.
Further, If I look in the CMakeFiles folder, there is no error.log. All I can see is CMakeOutput.txt and the ouput file shows that CMakeCCompilerId.exe and CMakeCXXCompilerId.exe were both generated successfully.
Does anyone have any ideas what am I doing wrong?
I'm trying to compile a code i made in C in Debian using CDT for Eclipse and i'm having the famouse Binary not found error when i try to compile the code. I already build the code by pressing Ctrl+B and the Debug folder appears, and the code doesn't have any syntax error, but the error still there. After that i tried to make a run configuration for my project but i'm not sure about what to put where it say's C/C++ Application. Which is the best configuration for this problem?
I'm using Debian Squeeze, Eclipse CDT and GCC as compiler
If you have successfully built your project and have an executable you can run (no build errors, project properly configured as executable), just press a "search project" or "browse" button in "debug configurations" dialog and point it to your executable.
I'm cross-compiling a project from Linux to target Windows (using mingw). The output is a DLL and p-invoking into it from C# works, but debugging is very difficult. The build outputs a .o file, which can provide symbols to gdb, but basically all I can do there is break on exceptions and find the name of the function that was executing when the exception happened; not even the full stack trace. I can't debug with WinDbg because I don't have .pdb files.
This is an open source project set up to build on Linux; I believe their build process relies on several installed Linux packages to work.
Do I have any options here? Is there a utility that can convert .o files into .pdb? Or some program that can give me more information than gdb when debugging?
Try a IDE that support mingw. For example the open source Code::blocks.
Another possibility is to do it manually: compile it with debug symbols, start you application and attach the GDB debugger to it. It is also part of the MingW32 distribution. Then you can set your breakpoints and debug your application
But I guess using Code::Block is more comfortable
By the way, the GCC compiler does not generate pdb files because it is a propietary format
What xpol means is maybe: if you have a complete mingw installation then Code::blocks can use gdb to visualize a debugging session like it is done in Visual Studio or Eclipse. See chapter "Debugger" at http://www.codeblocks.org/features
You can generate a .pdb file using cv2pdb.exe from Visual D. This works even for programs not written in D if they were compiled with mingw. Once you've downloaded and installed Visual D cv2pdb.exe can be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualD\cv2pdb\cv2pdb.exe.
You can run cv2pdb.exe against an executable like this:
cv2pdb.exe -n target.exe
This will produce a file called target.pdb. Assuming both target.pdb and target.exe are in the current director, you can then use windbg like this:
windbg -sflags 0x80030377 -y . -z target.dmp
In this case I'm also passing a minidump file as target.dmp. This can be omitted. The -sflags 0x80030377 option tells windbg to load target.pdb even though it thinks it doesn't match target.exe.
Note, that it can take windbg a very long time to load target.pdb. Just wait until it no longer says *BUSY* to the left of the command entry box.
Alternatively you can try DrMinGW.
