Changing Compiler References

Beginning with ASCET V6.4.9, the GCC <x>.<y>.<z> compiler is available for projects that use the PC or Prototyping targets. Despite the version number in the Compiler selection field in the "Build" node of the Project Properties window, GCC <x>.<y>.<z> is a generic compiler that points to the newest MinGW GNU compiler supported by, and shipped with, the current ASCET release. New projects automatically use GCC <x>.<y>.<z>; existing projects can be converted one by one (see Adjusting Project Properties) or all at once, as described here.

1. In the Tools menu of the Component Manager, point to Database or Workspace, then point to Convert and select Change compiler reference MinGW GNU 13.2.0 x64 to GCC.

   With that, the compiler is changed from MinGW GNU 13.2.0 x64 to GCC <x>.<y>.<z> for all affected projects in the database/workspace. Projects that use other compilers

   Note
   Projects that use other compilers are not affected by the Change compiler reference MinGW GNU 13.2.0 x64 to GCC menu option.
