DEV-C++ is not displaying any available compilers any more


Yesterday I wanted to fix an issue I was having with format identifier %Lf, and went ahead and added flags to Dev-C++: -std=c11 and -D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1. This actually fixed the issue. For further reference, you can read the actual issue I was having here: Format specifier %Lf is giving errors for `long double` variables

However, when I switched on my computer today, I found that the compiler was not available any more:

How could I fix this so that I can compile code again?

N.b. I was using DEV-C++ with compiler TDM-GCC 4.9.2 64-bit Release.

N.b.1 I am using Parallels in a MacBook Pro to be able to run Dev-C++ on Windows.

N.b.2 I am programming in C.


Solution

  • Best thing I could do is reset the Dev-C++ settings:

    Tool > Environment Options > Directories > Remove Settings and Exit
    

    Then just reopen the program and adjust the settings as you prefer.
