Checking version of GCC compiler in Code::Blocks [closed]
Solution 1:
Run gcc --version
, the result will be something like this:
gcc (GCC) 4.4.0

If this doesn't work you might not have the compiler setup in your PATH
correctly (I believe this is common if using MinGW on Windows), in which case you can first check where the compiler is located by doing the following within Code::Blocks:
- Menubar
Settings
->Compiler and Debugger
- Select
GNU GCC Compiler
- Select the
Toolchain executables
tab
Then, using a command line, move to the directory given, then in to the bin
subdirectory, then try running gcc --version
from there.
Solution 2:
Typically execute the command
gcc --version
and it should give you result like this:
gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-14ubuntu5) 4.4.5
