trouble in writing the first program
« on: March 05, 2010, 03:34:11 pm »
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."

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

Read and Use the Wiki

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.

Click the WIKI link at the top of this page.  Front page has a link to instructions on installing a compatible compiler.   For the record gcc is at version 4.4.1 on linux and  MS windows so following the wiki on updating that might be a good idea in the long run.  I recommend the installer for TDMs gcc release as the dev who bundles the nightly builds has even switched to using it.
