Quick background is that I have been working a lot with web development and want to go into actual programming. I found Code::Blocks through a website with tutorials. I downloaded it and it looked like a nice program. I say it looks like a nice program because I can't use the build feature. I have attempted to use 3 different compilers and have been unsuccessful with all.
I started with the mingw one that was included with Code Blocks. This one gave an error about a file not being on D:/ I tracked that problem to some configurations that I was unable to find and change.
So I uninstalled it and tried to use the compiler that comes with Visual Basic Express which I used for a bit. This one simply said on the build
log that I was using an invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!] and that it was going to skip it. Looked at the compiler settings, but could not find anything to change.
I uninstalled code blocks and mingw and tried fresh with the code blocks only .exe and no mingw. Then downloaded mingw seperately from their site. Still no luck, same error.
So I downloaded the free borland compiler. This was tells me that it is also an invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]. I checked the settings, found that it was pointing to the wrong folder, corrected all the paths that i could find, but to no avail, I still get that error.
I'm running Code::Blocks 8.02
Windows XP SP3
Visual Express 2008
Borland 5x something
and mingw I'm not sure the version.
Any help would be appreciated. I would very much like to use this program, but there is no point in using it if I can't link it to a compiler.
