CLion + MinGW Test CMake run finished with errors

Question

I'm new on this IDE, and programming on Windows, I've installed MinGW and added to enviroment path all is ok, I can compile and execute code from "cmd", but when I run CLion I have this error:

-- The C compiler identification is GNU 6.3.0
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 6.3.0
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe
-- Check for working C compiler: C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe -- broken
CMake Error at C:/Program Files/JetBrains/CLion 2017.3.1/bin/cmake/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:51 (message):
The C compiler "C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program.

It fails with the following output:

This is the photo. I think this is and error with CMake(?)

Solution 1

your windows 64bit and you can't write gcc.exe and g++.exe in windows 64 . you should try installing mingw-w64.

you can download this From here and installing this.

after that you should go in CLion setting -> build,Execution,deployment -> Toolchains

and configuration like this picture

and for installer mingw-w64 you should installer default option.

Solution 2

I encountered the same problem with mingw-32. Here is my solution.

First I removed all packages through MinGW Installer. Then as Jetbrains quick tutorial suggests I went to this page to download MingW-W64-builds. Installed it as x86_64. Under Toolchain | Environment clicked ... after the first dropdown slot, specified the folder called mingw64 under my installation. MinGW version should be "w64 5.0". This time no error report and Make, C compiler and C++ compiler were detected.
