How do I start?
« on: June 30, 2012, 01:53:26 pm »
Hello.

I have just installed this program Code Blocks and I don't know how to start.

I have tried typing into the Script Console both a line from C and C++ because I don't know what language to use or how to program at all but both come up with an error expression expected so I don't know what to do.

The very first time that I installed this program, a list of what I guess were compilers came up and I chose something called miniC(I think). Maybe that was a mistake but I cannot get back to that list anywhere no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall the program so I must be stuck on something. It says that it is called GNU GCC which I thought was supposed to be able to take a few different languages including C and C++. I just wanted to start with C because I have a book for it.

Can someone please show me anything on the menus of this program so that I can have Script Console that works with C?

Thank you very much.

I suggest reading the Manual and the FAQs
http://www.codeblocks.org/user-manual

http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ

NOTE: Code::Blocks requires an C/C++ Compiler for it to compile any program.
