error: Text.h: No such file or directory

prawnhead:
Apologies if you've seen this complaint a hundred times.

* I've just installed Code::Blocks
* I installed it with MingW
* I'm using it for the first time
* I created a console app
* I added a new class called Text (with defaults)
* I hit "build"
* It threw a list of errors:
--- Code: ---||=== Test99, Debug ===|

Pardon my stupidity, but how does a file that Code::Blocks just created for me not exists? Thanks for any help.

Jenna:
It surely exists, but if you create the new class, you can decide where the files get created (or whether they should be in the same directory).
The class-wizard does not automatically add the folder the header is in to the include-dirs of the project, so you have to do it yourself.

prawnhead:
Thanks Jens. Where are the include-dirs? (And why aren't additional files added by default?) Is there a tutorial? Can't find anything for Windows. Thanks.

How should we know? It's your project / your directory layout. :?

Because there are many cases where you don't want that.

Tutorial on what exactly? How you add include dirs to compiler options? Try the C:B manual here:

Morten, wow. You sure know how to encourage the noobs. Bye.
