Oh... I'm at wit's end. You can tell, because it took me through to registering here just to post about this.

I just want a simple, barebones IDE to create a basic, barebones program that lets me do simple functions in a single form. Kind of like a calculator of sorts. All the IDEs out there seem to want to be "everything at once"... I work in embedded development, and I just need a simple, small program that allows me to calculate a checksum, _without_ programming a microcontroller to give me a serial interface to do the same thing. Seems stupid that I've got a whole computer right in front of me, but the only device I know how to program on is an AVR microcontroller...

So, enter Code::Blocks. I tried going through this tutorial:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/WxSmith_tutorial:_Hello_worldBut the tutorial drops dead at the first "build", just trying to build and display the new, blank project. No compile errors. Just the blank project fails to run, even with zero modifications (not even fixing the "close" thing). It gives no popup console window, no open/closed dialog, absolutely nothing happens at all. If I run in debug, it indicates a "segmentation fault".
Running it normally gives this in the Build Log:
Process terminated with status -1073741819 (0 minute(s), 5 second(s))
Running in debug says "Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault".

There's no "main" function that I can find, either... I can't figure out for the life of me where to even begin writing code, or where to look for the problem. I Googled high and low about this, but just get people talking about complex programs and weird conditions... but nobody having a problem with a
blank project with literally zero written code failing to execute as the tutorial says it should...
I followed the directions in that tutorial exactly - except I couldn't get the $(#wx) global variable to work (can't figure out how to change options for a project after exiting the wizard), so I just entered a real path. I downloaded the wxPack version 2.8.12.07 from here:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B54E1bClDuSuTExoUXoyRmF0Z3c&usp=sharing - and I'd originally installed Code::Blocks without the minGW pack (not knowing I couldn't simply... install it later), so I installed the C::B + minGW pack over the top of it, then had the compiler options "autodetect" it (successfully). I'm on Windows 7 x64.
