I installed it and there was a little popup in the bottom right corner of the program which read "Can't find compiler executable for GNU GCC Compiler" or something like that. I haven't figured out how to get the popups/error messages to display.
I just did a rebuild now, after seeing that message. This is the build log
"lkjk - Debug": The compiler's setup (GNU GCC Compiler) is invalid, so Code::Blocks cannot find/run the compiler.
Probably the toolchain path within the compiler options is not setup correctly?!
Goto "Settings->Compiler and debugger...->Global compiler settings->GNU GCC Compiler->Toolchain executables" and fix the compiler's setup.
Skipping...
Nothing to be done (all items are up-to-date).
I'm leaving now to go to the store, but I assume I just need to fix the path like it says? When I go to settings, there is no "Compiler and debugger" option. There is only "Compiler" and "Debugger", two seperate entities.
Screw it, I didn't wanna waste time. Ok so I went to where it said, and it had installation path at C:/MinGW, so I changed it to code blocks > MinGW and it worked! I got a rebuild successful, then I did buld and run and got hello world!
Thanks a lot everyone, it seems like it is working. You all are very patient with me. I can't thank you enough
