[odb-users] odb compiler error: The system cannot find the path specified

[msalihcaliskan]

Hello Boris,

Thank you for your prompt reply,

Yes, shame on me. I totaly misunderstood the warning that mentioned in the
README and merged the odb compiler folders with my mingw environment. When
I reset the content and used full path for odb compiler, everything works.

Thank you again.
