CreateProcess: No such file or directory

by

I had a similar problem, caused by not installing the C++ compiler. In my case I was compiling .cpp files for a Python extension, but the compiler is first invoked as c:\mingw\bin\gcc.exe.

Internally, gcc.exe would notice it was asked to compile a .cpp file. It would try to call g++.exe and fail with the same error message:

gcc.exe: CreateProcess: no such file or directory
