*Armageddon:
Hello.
Im just starting to learn C++, and ive been getting:
SayHello - Debug" uses an invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]. Skipping...
Nothing to be done
im using Microsoft XP, with Code::Blocks v8.02

but i know what you're thinking, that i need to search the forums, that its asked three times a week, i know. i also know the problem is that i haven't installed the GNU GCC compiler.

My real question here is, where can i safely download the compiler?

seb_seb0:
Hello,

this is the wrong place to ask.
However, here is a link:
http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download

Download the "Bundle Installer" 32 bits.

Or type "MinGW download" on google : there are plenty of alternatives

2nd, download the last version of Code::Blocks, I do not understand why you are still using version 8.02 when version 10.05 is released.

Best regards,

Sebastien

*Armageddon:
thank you help, i appreciate it.
i also apologize for the incorrect placement of my question.
to answer your question, im still using v8.02 because im learning from C++ for dummies, and they use v8.02. until i become acquainted with c++, i will update to v10.05. If you see no reason to wait, please let me know 

Jenna:
As first: I suggest using C::B  10.05 instead of 8.02,
as second: just download the package with MinGW included, after installing you might have to make sure the compilers master path ("Setup -> Compiler and debugger... -> Global compiler settings -> GCC -> Toolchain executables") points to MinGW's base directory.

*Armageddon:
Thank you both very much :)

As for the version, im still a little hesitant. is 10.05 vastly different and/or superior?

i know next to nothing about C++, and im a little hesitant to stray from the book until i know what im doing.

<side note: where should this question have been placed?>
