Couldn't compile the first C++ program

I’m running into an issue compiling the first program.

gcc.exe: fatal error: cannot execute 'as': CreateProcess: No such file or directory

Both gcc.exe and as.exe are present at C:\raylib\w64devkit\bin and my project folder is located in D:\, I tried moving my project folder to C:\ but ended up with the same result.

Where is your CPP file located in your project?

Alright, that looks to be in the right place. What antivirus do you use? Sometimes AV software can falsely flag aspects of Raylib as a virus, causing issues.

@Tuomo_T It’s very odd, I just use Windows Security, and it still doesn’t compile even with that turned off :thinking:

Alright, one thing we can try is adding C:\raylib\w64devkit\bin to PATH in Windows Environment Variables. You can follow this guide to do that, you’ll want to restart your PC in order for the change to fully take effect.

@Tuomo_T That didn’t do it unfortunately :pensive:

I’ve been trying to get it to work on this machine for about a week now and nothing seems to work. So far I have tried:

  • Turning off Windows Security.
  • Adding C:\raylib\w64devkit\bin to PATH.
  • Disabling all VSCode extensions other than the C++ pack.
  • Reinstalling Raylib.
  • Compiling with Rider instead of VSCode (didn’t even give me the option to compile or run lol).

I think at this point I’ll just need to try using a different computer and see how that goes :sweat_smile:
