I realise this must be a common problem for noobs, and I may have started in the wrong place but.... :?

  Trying out my very first C++ stuff with Hello World! and constantly get this error;

Compiling: main.cpp
Linking console executable: bin\Debug\hello.exe
collect2: cannot find `ld'
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

   I have googled and realise that it's looking for a linker library? But when I try to add Libs through the Settings>Compiler & Debugger>Linker route there are no lib files that I can see in the Code:Blocks files. I have checked for All File types and added wxscintilla.dll as I read that was to be added somewhere but still no joy.

  I have searched the forum as well but 'ld' brings up hits like couLD, shouLD, wouLD etc. Even searching for the collect2: cannot find `ld' message doesn't provide much help with my problem?


   Any help is greatly appreciated folks. Thank you!

Ok, I've told it to provide full logging, but in the command there is no mention of 'ld'?

   Since I first posted I have re-installed so everything is fresh.

This is what it spits out....

mingw32-g++.exe  -o bin\Debug\hi.exe obj\Debug\main.o   
collect2: cannot find `ld'
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings

oBFusCATed:
mingw32-g++.exe calls ld internally, probably your mingw install is broken.
Reinstall and if the problems persists ask in a forum/mailing list which provides support Mingw.

moominboy:
Thank you! I assume checking Full Logging would've done exactly that? But I'll do that anyway. Cheers!
