Question

"Hello - Debug" uses an invalid compiler. Probably the toolchain path within the compiler options is not setup correctly?! Skipping...

I get the above message when I try to run a simple HelloWorld program as below.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
    return 0;
}

Any idea as to why this is happening and how I could solve it would be useful
FYI : Im using the GNU GCC compiler at the moment, I tried changing this too but there was no use.

Thanks to @Thrustmaster’s comment. For anyone stuck with a similar problem in the future just go to Settings->Compiler and Debugger->ToolChain Executables ->Click Auto Detect on the compiler's installation directory . Presto! The IDE auto-detects the path and works!
