[Kangrena]

Greetings everyone,im really new to c++, i can't build and run anything,the error i get is this "Settings->Compiler and debugger...->Global compiler settings->GNU GCC Compiler->Toolchain executables" and fix the compiler's setup". all nice,until it tells me to fix the compiler's setup,i've messed around for a while and didn't figured it out. I tried to reinstall it,but i get the same error

C::B can't find the gcc compiler on your system.
What version of C::B did you use?
What installer did you used?
Witch OS do you use?

You have to tell C::B where it can find the executables for your compiler. This can be done in  "Settings->Compiler and debugger...->Global compiler settings->GNU GCC Compiler->Toolchain executables"

i used codeblocks-12.11-setup.exe
i have windows xp sp2

Do you have a compiler installed ?

[Kangrena]

I don't :\
where can i get it?

Either use the setup-package with mingw in the name or use the compiler from http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ .
