Not really. You should be able to select any of the toolchains in the list to use for your project. Your 1.09 toolchain should work.

Are you using the 3.1.0 version of WinFBE Editor Suite?

When you go into "Compiler Setup", do you have any line selected like in the attached screenshot?

one thing i should mention about this .... just an hour ago i encountered this error. 18 hours ago it seemed to compile just fine with no errors... i don't get what happened between then & just when the error appeared....

sorry about if this is in a wrong section of the forum but,... i just recently pressed "F5" to test run a project & got an error saying "invalid defined compiler path" & it shows an incomplete string of a path below that. i'm not really sure how to fix this..... any ideas folks? possibly?

Okay, I went down another rabbit hole because I am able to use .NET with my broker's trading platform, so, I found a cross-platform solution that looks very promising and I'd just have to change my business logic from C++ to C#.

Anyway, it is worth a look for a couple of days to see if it will do the job.

After (much) deliberation, I have finally settled on my cross platform tools for my project. I am going to use qt https://www.qt.io/

Specifically, QtQuick/Qml.  I wrote a Qt Widgets app on Linux about 3 years ago so a lot of this should be familiar.

Also, because my project is open source, I can use the Qt open source version rather than the paid commercial product. https://www.qt.io/download-open-source

Hallo Paul and Petrus

QuoteBut, as you know, there are only so many hours in the day and having a full time job at the time limits the ability to give 100% focus to programming.

We can read, understand and implement many things.
But learning or studying computer science means learning the basics.
But as you said, as a "non-professional" who also has to earn money for the family etc., our time window for learning is very limited.

QuoteI wish I could have direct wired my brain to Jose's and absorbed all his programming knowledge - he knows everything about everything.

On the day when this should be possible, I would also like to have a slot, too. 

    

Lucky for me, when it comes to programming, I have a very inquisitive mind and it gives me immense enjoyment learning new tools.

My one regret is not learning COM programming deep enough. I remember whenever Jose would talk about it and show examples that I would be simply lost and I always felt like I should have taken a deeper dive into COM.

You are truly blessed with a sharp mind.

I have read an interview with the creator of C++ and I think I need to resolve to using an abbacus.
C++ may be powerfull, but the bit i have tried is truly unpleasant and overhelming for hobbyists and us "drag and drop" programmers making work tools.

You have my admiration for being able to jump so easily between these languages and modern high-end tools.
