Win32++ errors
Alpha:
I do not know your level of skill with programming, but I found all of these wikibooks very useful for learning and polishing my C++.
If you do have the basics down (as learning C++ by starting with GUI programming is... difficult), wxWidgets is fairly straightforward to set up.
* Build wxWidgets
* Create a wxWidgets Code::Blocks project
If you want to use win32++, I checked and they include example Code::Blocks projects (*.cbp) which build perfectly fine.

Looking at the provided blank project template in win32++ reveals that the code needs to be linked with the following libraries:
--- Code: ---comctl32
ole32
oleaut32
uuid
ws2_32
--- End code ---

Here's what I get with full command line...

I have gone through many tutorials on C++, I started programming with GML so I am familiar with programming to an extent, I can write a simple c++ script that outputs in cmd but I have no use for that, I don't learn anything if I can't use any of it. I have googled for what feels like forever.
www.cprogramming.com is the site I use. All that being said I am still at a loss for how compilers and linkers work, so I guess this is the basis of my question. I don't know what a library is so I don't know what I'm doing.

I tried this out, I added to my enviroment variables and changed my cmd directory to build\msw but mingw32-make is unrecognised. How could it? mignw32 make is in my mingw folder not in my wxwidgets directory.

What are these libraries and how do I tell codeblocks what they are? I do not see them in any of the win32++ folders.
Sorry for all the questions, like I said I am familiar with programming to an extent I just still don't understand all this linking stuff.
Thanks.

Please learn the basics of c++ programming.
Learn the difference between scripting and compiling/linking, learn what compiling does, what the linking stage does etc.
And if you really want to learn that with gui-programming and not with simple and understandable, but probably more or less useless, console-programs, it's up to you.
But you are definitely on the wrong site here.
We do not teach basic programming here.
