trouble in writing the first program

(1/2) > >>

kolahalb:
Hello everyone,today I downloaded code::block (after failing to run turbo C in Vista) in my Inspiron 1525 laptop from

codeblocks-8.02-setup.exe  28 Feb 2008 10.8 MB  Sourceforge or BerliOS
http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/5

[because they say The compiler included in codeblocks-8.02mingw-setup.exe does not work reliable on Windows Vista.]

specification:32 bit OS,Windows Vista Home Basic SP2

After installation,I went like this:
File>new>project>Console Application>

I selected the language C I want to use as I am learning C (I am programing for the first time) from a book on C language.
In "Folder to create project in" I specified: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\

I selected GNU GCC compiler (I do not know what that means) as it was default.

As I am trying the test program it says

""program - Debug" uses an invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]. Skipping...
Nothing to be done."

Sorry...I happened to post...

Please show me how to deal with this...

stahta01:
1. INSTALL A VISTA COMPATIBLE COMPILER
2. CONFIGURE CODE:BLOCKS TO USE COMPILER
3. TURN ON FULL COMPILER LOGGING

Not really, I decided they were really young(or maybe old); the young have trouble reading lower case letter.
Note, the old also have problem reading really small print.

I assume the above because only the really old or young would NOT know how to use Google to find answers.
