CB is project based. Before you write any code, create a project from Create New Project on the CB startup screen, and select Console Application - the Build Options will be enabled after you create a project.Wrong, C::B supports single file compilation, too.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
int count;
printf("\n**************");
for( count = 1 ; count <= 8 ; ++count ) printf("\n* *");
printf("\n**************\n");
return 0;
}
