Bug #: 53286
Summary: [mingw] improve "CreateProcess: No such file or
directory" error message
Classification: Unclassified
Product: gcc
Version: 4.7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: driver
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
When running GCC on Windows (MinGW), a wide variety of configuration problems
exhibit as a symptom the following error message:
CreateProcess: No such file or directory
For example, one gets this error when compiling a program if cc1plus.exe is
missing or in the wrong directory.
This error message is unhelpful because it does not say *which* file was not
found; as a result, the underlying configuration problem is difficult to
diagnose and resolve.
Could this error message be modified to include the name of the file that was
not found? For example:
CreateProcess: cc1plus.exe: no such file or directory
