+The _Compilers paths_ category is used to define the paths to the compilers and to their respective versions of the standard library.
+
+These settings are important and should be verified after the installation.
+
+![](img/compilers_paths.png)
+
+Up to five D compilers can be defined.
+* DMD: should be set to the stable DMD version. The paths are normally detected when _Coedit_ is launched for hte first time.
+* GDC: should be set to the stable GDC version. The _runtime_ and _Phobos_ sources stand in the same folder so the third field can be left empty.
+* LDC: should be set to the stable GDC version. The _runtime_ and _Phobos_ sources stand in the same folder so the third field can be left empty.
+* User1: can be set to any compiler, for the example the development version of DMD.
+* User2: same as _User1_.
+
+The combo box at the top is used to select which are the paths passed to the completion daemon. 
+When the completion daemon is launched by _Coedit_ the change is applied directly after the validation, otherwise it has to be restarted manually.
+
+In other categories of the options one of these compilers can be selected.
+* Category _Application_, __nativeProjectCompiler_: defines the compiler used to compile a project that has the native format.
+* Category _Runnable modules_, _compiler_: defines the compiler used to compile a _runnable module_ or a DUB script.
+* Category _DUB build_, _compiler_: defines the compiler used to compile a project that has the DUB format.
