Okay, so, I'm just starting to seriously try and learn some C++(i've dabbled a bit over the years but never put a serious effort in). I was recently on win XP 32 bit; codeblocks and mingw were working just fine on there.
I just upgraded to win 7. Codeblocks works fine. mingw doesn't. And I can't tell if it's because of codeblocks or mingw or me or what the hell.
According to everything I've read, I should just need to install mingw in the default place and point codeblocks at it, it should autodetect everything and bam, away I go. I did that, manually checked that everything that CB is looking for in the mingw directory is there, but when I try to build something, literally nothing happens. it doesn't throw an error at me, it doesn't even appear to try to compile. It doesn't say it can't find part of mingw. it just does absolutely nothing.
Now this had previously happened to me on winXP, but it was because I had accidentally deleted mingw without realizing what it was. I reinstalled it and it worked, no sweat at all.
also, worth noting that I've tried binaries of mingw 32 and 64 and both do the exact same thing.
I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask or if I should be asking on a mingw forum or something, but I am incredibly frustrated at this point because I've wasted almost two hours trying to get this damn thing to work and frankly I'm incredibly pissed right now, because I've spent two hours banging my head against this which is more time than I even intended to work on learning tonight. So if there's a better place to get help with this I'd be quite thankful to be directed there; however it's not an error with coding and I've been searching on google to no avail, so I figured this would be an appropriate place.
