[mcstas-users] problems with the c compiler

[Boin, Mirko]

Hi Anna,

I had the same (or similar) problem once and if I remember correctly I needed to adjust my registry.
On the "known problems"McStas webpage at the very bottom they say:

http://www.mcstas.org/download/install_windows/

*  If you are not able to start any simulation from mcgui - only getting back the mcrun --help or the text "press any key to continue", your Perl is likely not registered access all commandline parameters. This can be remedied by

  *   Starting the regedit.exe program
  *   Searching for keys with content C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe
  *   Ensure that any entry like that includes a final %* like this:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\perl.exe\shell\open\command = "C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %*


Could you try to check if your registry entries are correct as shown above.

Best wishes,
Mirko.

Dear Anna,

I guess that you are using the Desktop links to mcgui and / or the mcstas environment scripts?

1) Using the McStas environment link, what do you get when issuing
echo %PATH%
in the terminal? Does this include c:\strawberry\perl\bin ?

2) Is there in fact a perl.exe located in c:\strawberry\perl\bin ?

Best,

Peter

Dear all,

I installed the new version of McStas on a windows machine and it seems like the c compiler is not recognised. The error message I get is "gcc" is not an internal or external recognised command.
I changed the folder strawberry\perl\bin to full control but the problem still remains. Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks for the support,

Best regards,

Anna
