Can't install MinGW for Clion

Question

Recently I installed Clion, but couldn't compile even "Hello World" application. I install MinGW compiller separately, but when I try to compile "Hello world" app I have next errors:

How can I fix it?

Solution

I just installed a fresh copy of MingW correctly and selected a lot of package to install, after that you install CLion 1.1.1 and set the path to c:\MingW\bin to your environment variable PATH

Inslall link for MingW: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/

I created a hello project and compiled it, all things works correctly

Here is the result of execution of hello world and there is no compiler problem

If there is a path problem, as I had, you have to de-install and install CLion to recognize your path as I did

Tested under windows 7

They have an installer which downloads from sourceforge the selected MinGW packages.

The question is tagged with mingw-w64, are you sure this creates a 64-bit executable?

For me mingw32-base and mingw32-gcc-g++ was sufficient to make it work
