Configuring CLion on Windows 10

Hello, guys!

Good day to you!

Today I will share a very easy method with you about configuring CLion on Windows 10.

Do you know CLion?

It is a cross-platform IDE. you can install and run CLion on Windows, macOS, and Linux. But a lot of people give up because of the installation failure. So, in this topic, I will share how to install and configure CLion on Windows 10.

1. Download the CLion.

   Go to the website(https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/download/#section=windows) to download the CLion.

   

2. Download and install MinGW.

   Click the link (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains targetting Win64/Personal Builds/mingw-builds/) to download MinGW. Please note, drop down to the bottom of the page and download the compressed package.

   

3. Decompress the package.

4. Configure the CLion.

   1. Open the CLion, and choose File > Setting > Build > Toolchains on the left. Then click "+".

      

      
      

      

   2. Set Environment to MinGW and enter the MinGW decompression path.
      For other parameters, the CLion will automatically complete the data.

      

   3. If the system does not automatically complete the path, enter the path according to the following table.

      Parameter	Value
      CMake	Automatically enter
      Make	WinGW path\mingw64\bin\mingw32-make.exe
      C Compiler	WinGW path\mingw64\bin\gcc.exe
      C++ Compiler	WinGW path\mingw64\bin\g++.exe
      Debugger	WinGW path\mingw64\bin\gdb.exe
