Graphics Libraries that work with codeblocks

(1/6) > >>

CodeGuy:
I want to try some experiments with graphics, but I need a graphics library for codeblocks. Does anyone know of a good library, and how would I use it with codeblocks? I've never used a library before.

Another thing I would like to do is be able to create GUI programs (like a message window asking for an OK on something for example).

Seronis:
Look up the QT or wxWidgets frameworks for gui app developement.  Or google for a tutorial on OpenGL or DirectX.   more advice than that though delvs into the realm of  'general programing' which is explicitely forbidden in the forum rules (ya know that sticky topic in the thread that says READ BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS).  Questions about how to use codeblocks will be answered.   In general questions about how to program will not.   Try  irc channel  #c++-basic   for more info  (google if you dont know what irc is).

CodeGuy:
Ok thanks, I have a problem: I can't compile my first program with codeblocks. It keeps telling that the debugger executable is not set, and that I need to go to Settings>Compiler and Debugger> and then to the programs tab. There is not a programs tab. I spent ten minutes doing this over and over and there is no tab named that.

That happens if you tell nothing about your configuration / version etc. The tab is called "Toolchain executables" in your version most likely. Sometimes it's also worth not just trying a "pattern matching" but probably think what this could mean: An executable is not set -> on what tab are executables being set...?!

In addition: The debugger must be installed separately if you didn't use an installer that installs the debugger for you, too. The compiler suite is splitted into separate packages, so is the debugger. Search the forums on that topic - there is plenty of information about this.

That is very unhelpful. I told nothing about my config and version? Tell who? C::B or this forum? First of all, I don't even know what the difference is between a compiler, and an IDE. Another forum suggested that I use code::blocks, some time ago, and I decided I would use it after nearly a month trying to get another compiler working. All I want to do I program, and so far I've done nothing because whatever compiler/ide/whatever has been completely useless. None of them work! I'm sick of all the hoops I have to jump through to get something to work, when it should work right from the get go!

I searched the forum, and I found none of this "plenty of information" about this. I barely know what to search for! Why have me spend time searching when you can easily provide the answer? That is completely inefficient!

Do I sense hostility? If you're going to be a jerk, like 90% of all other forums out there, I'm going to be a jerk right back, and abandon C::B and find another compiler worth using and you'll have one less user on your hands!

Why would I do that? I'm sick of reading tutorials, I want to do SOMETHING! I liked a certain language, it had graphics built in. I can't use it though because the stupid compiler, the only one that works with it, does not work and no one is willing to help me fix it anymore. I've bumped the topic multiple times, and still no help. I can't even use the other compiler by the same company for C++, because that is nearly identical and doesn't work. You cannot begin to comprehend my frustration!!!
