The C++ Compiler cannot run a simple test program

[goldenhawking]

QMake sometimes is simpler than CMake for simple applications.

@Daemonitas

I got this pop up now when compiling using the msvc kit

[Orkun Tokdemir]

@Daemonitas Can you compile anything with the compiler CMake found?
Can you please try it with the hello word code?

<the full path I highlighted>  hello.cpp -o hello 

[Daemonitas]

@Orkun-Tokdemir
you mean this one?

[Orkun Tokdemir]

@Daemonitas yes

[Daemonitas]

@Orkun-Tokdemir
well clearly it works
perhaps the problem is actually my laptop itself
but what causes this in the first place

[Orkun Tokdemir]

@Daemonitas Did you run it as below?

"C:Qt/Tools/mingw120_64/bin/c++.exe"  hello.cpp -o hello

[Daemonitas]

@Orkun-Tokdemir
yes It works fine

There is something wrong with your Windows installation / laptop.

The compilers themselves seem to work, but not the build programs (ninja, mingw32-make, msbuild, jom).

The antivirus is not the issue. I can think of two issues:

1. some sort of a disk failure
2. some user rights access issues

You can get yourself a Windows Virtual Machine from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/

That is if the laptop is powerful enough to run a VM.

@cristian-adam
so I reinstalled windows and mingw works

msvc said its missing cxx compiler path but hey atleast mingw works so I guess problem solved
my windows is the problem after all. Had to sacrifice my files but as long as it works its a win in my book.
