devkitPro updater installs old compiler on windows 10

[elezzar]

Hi!
i was having some issues with compiling other peoples source code when someone told me to run

Code: Select all

 arm-eabi-gcc --version 

in my c:\devkitPro\devkitARM\bin directory from command line and it outputs this

Code: Select all

arm-eabi-gcc (devkitARM release 32) 4.5.1
Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

from my understanding this is a very old compiler and i don't know why it keeps installing this version, i've been using the updater .exe file from github so it should be installing the latest version no?

any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

The installer isn't installing that. What's most likely is that you're trying to install over the top of a very old installation or that someone has told you to install that particular version in order to compile something.

The best option is to delete the devkitPro folder (usually c:/devkitPro) and attempt the installation again.

I already have done that and i'm sure the version i'm installing is the latest from the github

Clearly you haven't. What you're describing is impossible.

Use the uninstall option then download the installer from github and try again.
