Many thanks ! G++ installed a treat !
I have now installed C::B v 12.11 on a diiderent computer running Ubuntu 13.04 and its seems a lot more friendly.
However I can't seem to copy the code from the Editors window or the 'Logs and others' So can't easily post what I've achieved.
log hand the source is:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf(Hello world!\n");
return 0;
}
and the 'Logs and others'
---Build: R0.01 in Test01 (compiler:- GNU GCC Compiler)----
Linking stage skipped (build target has no object files to link)
Nothing to be done (all items are up-to-date).
______
Which is a big improvement *~LOL*~ But as I'm falling down every hole, I've missed something obvious...
Update:- It now compiles fine after G++ was installed. and produces a ./hello executable also a '.o' file.
(still find it weird that it only worked on G++ and GCC was ignored)
Many thanks for your very patient support !

gcc is the "GNU Compiler Collection". g++ is a part of gcc. The "gcc" executable is the c compiler, the g++ is the c++-compiler.
If your file ends with cpp then you use the c++ compiler, so you need the g++ executable.
If your file ends with c then you are using the c compiler and you need the gcc executable.

You have put your finger on the problem. Running CB 10.05 on my Linux box GCC works fine under bash but under CB IDE a something.c source file get an error message and does not compile. CDb 12.11 behaves differently.
Many thanks for responding. How do you get on with CB's Editor ? can you cut and paste into it ok ?

Can't you c&p in your Editor, or only in the log window? Does it work with right-click -> Edit -> cut ?
In the log window ctrl+c isn't working (as i remember) but in the editor it should work. If not, you may have trouble with the short-cuts. you can search the forum to resolve the error, i think this was reported many times...

The Edit> cut paste works fine ! Many many many thanks !
On the Log report thing on I think there might be an option that works. I'll get back on that one.
