The C compiler is not able to compile a simple test programm

@1170280050 since you have "CreateProcess: No such file or directory", I would start with suggestions from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3848357/createprocess-no-such-file-or-directory. Also you can try using Cygwin, for example.

Hi all,

I ended up on this page because I had a similar problem.

First of all let me say that there is a deprecated way to disable it but it is  not recommended and leads to problems down the line as cmake relies on the system introspection to fill some variables for some of the next steps.

So to disable you can set when running cmake by adding -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_FORCED=true and -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=true.

The issue is caused by cmake's introspection system which makes use of try_compile commands.

To perform the system introspection it will generate some temporary files, compile them with a Makefile and then delete them. If you want to disable the deleting part so that you can try and debug them manually you must add the --debug-trycompile flag to your cmake command. This will keep the files in cmake_build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

You can cd into that directory and see what cmake is doing behind the scenes and what all those cmTC_* recipes do.

With this information and whatever you get in cmake_build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log and CMakeError.log I believe that you can sort out what your problem was.

Hey everyone,

I have a similar issue that I am desperate to solve :( Maybe someone has an idea what's going wrong here?

how to soleve it?

Yaodav Rosenberg you've selected the CMake executable instead of the make in the "Make" field, that's incorrect. Please empty the "Make", "C Compiler" and "C++ Compiler" fields in `File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Toolchains` and let CLion autodetect them.

I have a similar problem trying to setup CLion on Windows with WSL/Ubuntu.  Note that cmake is version 3.18 rather than the WSL default.  Appreciate any help you can offer.

Hi,

I also get a similar error message on my mac, is there any solution to this problem. My compiler fails to load due to a CMake error.

[Failed to reload]

Ahmed Habib please open the Terminal, and run the following command: `xcode-select --install`. After that in CLion please do `Tools | CMake | Reset Cache and Reload Project`. It should help.
