I don't know what this error is

[Zekdes]

Every time I open a file this happens

I still can use Neovim normally, I just wandering if I did something wrong The version of my Neovim is 0.9.5

• OS: Windows 11
• Terminal: cmd / Powershell

[dam9000]

How did you install Neovim?

Which compiler do you have installed? (MS Visual Studio or gcc or ?)

I would suggest:

• uninstall nvim
• delete: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim
• delete: %userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim-data
• reinstall following the instructions "Windows with gcc/make using chocolatey" in: https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim?tab=readme-ov-file#windows-installation

No platform shaming please.

I don't know if this helps but here it is

Do you have a C compiler installed?

[Zekdes]

Do you have a C compiler installed?

Yes, I install gcc

[feoh]

What happens if you either:

• install Python (choco install python)
• OR remove python from the list of treesitter syntaxes?

[feoh]

No comment from @Zekdes in a while. Will close due to inactivity in a few days.

[christophermadsen]

Do you have a C compiler installed?

Yes, I install gcc

Still supported versions of GCC are currently 11.4, 12.3, 13.2, 14.1 and 15.0 is in development. I don't know anything about your issue, but maybe update your GCC and then do what @dam9000 suggested again.

[dam9000]

@christophermadsen hmm perhaps you are right, the choco installed mingw/gcc version is 13.2.0, so the version that @Zekdes has looks old, perhaps that's the reason for some incompatibility. Here is what choco says on my win11 for mingw/gcc:

I would also recommend scoop over chocolatey.

Unless you've got a specific setup, why not try and uninstall all the requirements of Kickstart and reinstall with scoop/chocolatey?

choco uninstall neovim git ripgrep wget fd unzip gzip mingw make
choco install -y neovim git ripgrep wget fd unzip gzip mingw make

or

choco uninstall neovim git ripgrep wget fd unzip gzip mingw make
scoop install neovim git ripgrep wget fd unzip gzip mingw make

ok, so I tried to do what you said to me and then use 'gcc -version' to see if works and this show up

so now my current theory is that I have two versions of gcc in my computer and in case anyone is wondering if I install correctly, here is the proof

[dam9000]

That has to be it, find the old gcc version and uninstall it. Any idea how you installed it?

[Zekdes]

So, I went in to the file explore to see if my theory was correct, and it was there was two versions of MinGW, one was in the program data with the version 13.x and one in his own folder with the version 6.x

So just to see what happens I remove the folder with the version 6 and then use the 'gcc --version' and this show up

now, I open Neovim to see if the error still there and ...

and remember, I unstall and install everything so this is a 'new' neovim with the same error

[dam9000]

Did you also delete AppData/local/nvim-data ?

[Zekdes]

Did you also delete AppData/local/nvim-data ?
