Tracing compiling errors in the source

(1/1)

Micky:
It's good to be here, welcome to everybody, and - here's my first question: After experimenting quite a lot with different environments, I decided to switch to C::B, but right from the beginning - in my view - I'm missing an important feature: with Dev-C++ or Netbeans ide's I simply used to left-click on a compiler-error-message and the cursor automatically jumped to the said source code position! In C::B I just get a (red) line with a corresponding line number, which I have to trace manually.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for your kind help!

killerbot:
note there are 2 tabs with compiler output :
1) Build log : this is simple text output
2) Build messages : this is a synopsis list of warnings and errors, and when you double click those entries you are taken to the offending line in the source code.

Micky:
Ooohhhh ... I'm sorry, I should have noticed that :oops: Thanks a lot for your fast help!

P.S.: single-click capability is not available?
