Now whenever I start code::blocks I get error mspdb100.dll is missing from your Computer. I click ok and project opens. When I Compile I get the error shown in image.

It looks like you screwed up your settings and the project or target does not use GCC-compiler, but at least the linker from Microsoft.

I didn't screw up anything. I just reinstalled code::blocks and then set the compiler paths as shown and then restarted the IDE and it started giving dll error.

I look at your screen shot. If I remember correctly, the log message "LNK1104..." is generated from MSVC C++ compiler, not MinGW GCC compiler. So I believe you use the wrong compiler suite.

I have posted the Compiler paths. It is clearly MinGW Compiler tool set. I have selected GCC Compiler.


Edit: It worked. I closed and opened code::blocks and it worked and Compiled without problem. I don't know what was the problem. I didn't change anything. See screenshot. I have another question. Where should I ask C++ code related question?

Thanks everybody who answered in this thread.

You did change something. Please note that there are two places you have compiler settings:
case 1, Menu->Settings->Compiler settings. This is called "Global compiler settings", you have settings for every compilers, because there is a drop list "selected compiler" to let you select which compiler you are going to set.

case 2, Menu->Project->Build options, this will let you to select compiler to build your project and build targets.

I guess that in the "case 2", you have select "MS Visual C++" compiler for your "SayHi" project, apparently and luckily, your "greet" project use the GCC compiler.

Use Google first, there are many answers but C::B forum is not involved.
