Hi BlueH, The gnc was a typo gnu was to be there. In the compiler install options during the compiler snaffuu to see if I could direct the install better there is a option to identity the OS system core and that seemed the closest. Now that seems to work, although you maybe right I might remove it but it is working. I'll try to give you the best update on how my install is functioning. I'm using my tablet at a Starbucks now, no airtime left sense that Hugh loss I had during my first install. Okay uninstalled the last code block copy. Still have my GNU Installer on desktop. Reinstalled a fresh copy of code blocks while at this Starbucks. Went through a couple hello world demo writes worked great saved everything from file drop down before leaving. Went to my shop stayed off line and started to open up my first workspace and hello world. Now went to build, just fine, went to run and had the exe. failed. I spent sometime tracing it down found the .o file was located next to the main.c file which was not in the bin file. I think the compiler is working find, tested it on a new project with new main.c and the build was fine. But during the linker phase the .o file is not saved in the obj folder thus the .exe failed statement. I then click on my main.o file, (located next to my main.c file which is not in the
bin file) and a popup then asks would you like to run cb run console, this maybe a little different I don't have my laptop here, I run the cb console and up comes my program in the command window.
I can modify my hello world then build , all fine, go to run it comes up .exe failed ( I believe linker file not found). Then open up windows explore again, I find the main.o file next to my main.c (not in the
bin file). Click on it, popup says would you like cab console to run file, yes. Up comes my command
window with the new info added to hello world. I believe when I save file 'hello world' after adding
test words in the program the file is working fine because now the compiler builds correctly from my
source file. Here is where the glitch is the object file does not get saved in the obj folder which I believe is needed for the linker to finish its work. I'll see what data I have left, I paid for extra after that Hugh loss but trying not to have it happen again to me. I'll copy the actual failure message and post it. Thank you for your concern, Len
