Cant Build/Run In Codeblocks
dregs:
Hey there i am trying to learn C++ so i downloaded the codeblocks dev environment. i downloaded it in conjunction with a mingw32 compiler set. but i dont know why i cannot build or run any tests. i put in that basic code for "hello world" in cmd.exe but it doesnt even run THAT. and thats like the default project. i enter code, code is absolutely correct, and then i select "Build" or "Build and Run" and its not working. when i hit F9 or "build and run" it brings up a little button window that says "It seems that this project has not been built yet. Do you want to build it now?"
it gives me three options: yes no or cancel.
i obviously hit "yes" and then it says this in the build log at the bottom:
"Compiling: main.cpp
mingw32-gcc.exe: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus': No such file or directory
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings"
what am i doing wrong? i set everything up correctly, i didnt change any settings directories or options that weren't instructed by this page. http://www.cprogramming.com/code_blocks/
so im pretty sure that i set it up perfectly.
i read a post with a similar problem but it started to diverge and lead to irrelevant info. so if anyone could help me figure out why my codeblocks is not recognizing my mingw32 compiler i would greatly appreciate it. Or if anyone knows of an easier program to use, or anything that would help me learn C++ faster and be able to use a simple program for testing my codes and programs for practice i would love that also. thanks. i really want to learn C++ lol

Apparently code::blocks doesn't know where your c++ compiler is (and probably all the toolchain). I'd suggest downloading and installing the full c::b + mingw package and using it, so as to minimize install errors.

yea i did download that pack. it came with codeblocks and mingw32 and i installed it perfectly. i think i said that already but idk lol but i think all my toolchains are correct. how is that toolchain screen supposed to look?
this is what mine looks like lol

strange one.
i see you use XP so even the old gcc should be fine. do you by any chance have other mingws installed ?.
