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: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: zeratul...@hotmail.com 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
