kobby30:
i'm very new at this c++, bought the book c++ for dummies, i tried the first project the hello one. No console came up and i have typed everything correctly.
secondly i keep getting this message at the bottom............"hello - Debug" uses an invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]. Skipping...
Nothing to be done.

someone please direct me to the right settings or something. i've been sat here almost 10 hours. I dont know if its the windows 7 im using or something. thanks.

ollydbg:
You should tell us the information like which version of your (OS, C::B, compiler...), also the steps your create your project. otherwise, we can't help you.

kobby30:
oh ok.....the version of my os is 64 bit operating system, windows 7 home edition, processor is AMD athlon(tm) neo x2 duo dual core....., c::B 8.02 , with the compiler when  i was installing i used the default GNU GCC compiler.
i followed the stepwise guide in the book ie creat a new project, then chose the console application, project title which is sayhello, but with the location i chosed a folder on ma desktop. then build....run nothing. please sort me out. thanks

ollydbg:
OK
C::B 8.02 ------too old, please a nightly build version.
also, the GCC is old too, please use a more recent gcc, such as TDM GCC.

c0dezombie:
Just download borlands free compiler then open codeblocks choose settings from the selected compiler drop down list choose borland compiler 5.5/... or it says something to that extent. I believe that borland C++ 5.5 is royalty free, and can be used for commercial use however I have not double checked.
