Hello, this is my first posting on this forum. Can someone help me with my problem please?
Last month I downloaded Codeblocks onto my computer ( I think it's 8.02) and I have been able to use it with no difficulty.
Needing to use a second machine, this morning I downloaded it from the internet onto a friends machine, which also runs Windows XP.
To run a test, I created a simple program to printout a line of text, a 'Hello world' program. I did this in the same way as I had created programs on my own machine: Create a new blank project and then Empty File, into which I put my code. I then selected Debug > Start from the menubar, as I always do, except this time I get the error message:
"The debug executable is not set. To set it, go to "Settings/compiler and debugger", switch to the "programs" tab, and select the debugger program."
Well from the toolbar, I navigate down Settings > Compiler and debugger...
This gives me a Compiler and debugger settings window, but there is not a tab named 'Programs'. Searching around the various options here, I cannot see either this, 'debugger programs' or anything else that suggests that the name has changed.
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, to no avail. Can someone help me please? I would appreciate a speedy reply, as a project is being held up by this and my friend is a little miffed that I am hogging the computer. It would also help if any instructions are precise, being dyslexic I have difficulty in following vague instructions. Thanks.
