Question from a Novice.

(1/2) > >>

JazzCat:
Hi there.

I'm attempting to use codeblocks to compile even the most basic hello world program and am having difficulty. I just want to choose "File", "New", "File", "C/C++ Source", advance through the wizard by choosing C++ for the language, give a file location, finish the wizard, paste in some code, go to the build menu and choose Build and Run. I thought it would be this simple but nothing appears down in the Build Log. It's as if nothing even registers.

Can someone please help me here?

Many thanks.

Operating System,   Which version is CodeBlocks ( "latest" is NOT an answer. be specific).  What compiler did you install..  what version is your compiler..  have you set up your 'toolchain executables' properly.

Answer the questions you can and if you dont understand a question please use the search option to look in the forums and try Google too.

JazzCat:
Hi there. Thanks for the swift reply.

OS is Windows Vista Home Premium. Version is 8.02. Am I to understand that I need to install a separate compiler that links with Codeblocks? Sorry, I was under the impression that CodeBlocks was or included a compiler. And no. I have not set up any toolchain executables nor do I know what these are.

I look forward to your reply.

Now go search for "codeblocks vista" or "mingw vista"....

JazzCat:
I believe I have the correct version of Codeblocks. It seems to be running fine on Vista.

Seronis, can you please let me know how to proceed from here?
