1) I am about 24 hours into learning C++ and the people here have troubleshot my first roadblock. Thank you.
2) I have notice that the post chronologically RIGHT after mine, had the exact same problem as I did, and came from the same source: C++ for Dummies.
3) I have also noticed that Jens has stated a "Use the Search Engine" answer. I understand it is taxing to repeat the same answer for the newbs. But when I used the search engine, I noticed that some of the found threads were locked without answer due to repitition/search engine non-use and others had answers of variable usefulness. In truth, I would still be stuck if I hadn't gotten a followup explaination of what a "toolchain" was and where it was set.
Therefore I ask the experts here might it be a good idea to author a simple Setting Up C::B for Newbs Tutorial? Given that the Dummies book and also (I believe) a straight download from the internet of C:B 8.02 will cause this error for all newbs?
Note that I came to C::B from
http://www.cprogramming.com/code_blocks/Which IS a tutorial for C::B installation by newbs but I still had my problems as Step 3 the AutoDetection window does not happen as described. Also Dummies assumes no problem in installation.
If you feel this is a common problem, I would be willing to write the simple Tutorial, if someone would proof it to make sure it is generic enough to be useful.
Is this a common problem for newbs, or am I a 6sigma kinda guy?
Thank you
