Well I tried to figure it out on my own, but I guess I'm missing something.
Every time I run my program it pops the command prompt, but the command prompt is blank. As if it didn't read my code at all and it's your basic "Hello World!" program. Lol.
I'm sure it's an easy fix. Thanks in advance!

missing SDL ?
use the devpack updater/installer in the plugins menu there are several versions go for the newest.
-
Lol. I either can't find that under the plugin's tab (only 3 choices under it) or I'm looking in the wrong place bro.
-
under the devpacks.org community devpacks.
the devpack c++ primary one has been empty for years (plugin was originally used in another ide "devc++").
first time you use it (considering if your in the right place) it will ask you where to setup the devpacks. point it to the codeblocks folder then it will ask if you want to have the path added to the compiler you need to say yes to that so it can find the installed libraries.
after that its pretty much just selecting what you need ;)
-
devpacks.org was a phony site, but devpaks.org works. I got there and it said that the downloads there could hurt my computer or change my files so I wasn't to down for that bullshit. Lol.
Another thing... Why the hell would Code::Blocks come without something that you need to run your programs? I have the last version before this and it was perfectly fine...

cant say im not part of the development team, just trying to help here and there.
then again compiling a hello world example should not need anything but a compiler with standard libraries. that its looking for SDLmain had me a bit baffled, as SDL is more like directx.
i cant say for sure what might be the reason youre having problems newer encountered something like that before.
did you be any chance install the new codeblocks over the old one ? theres been quite a few mistakes like that recently and it does not work mostly because the mingw compiler that comes with it is a newer version and not compatible with the old mingw.

C::B will not ship with each and every SDK user might use (it's simply impossible). The wizards create stubs (projects) prepared for different SDK's for convenience. It's up to the developer targetting a specific SDK to install this SDK, obviously.

C::B works pretty fine...
What kind of project do you build and run? SDL one or simple console one?
If it is the former try the latter to verify that your console is working.
Also some version info would be good to have (OS,CB,compiler)...
