 Quote/Q: How can I change the language of the compiler (gcc) output to english?

A: Codeblocks 12.11 or higher: Settings->Environment->Environment Variables. Add "LC_ALL" with value "C". ->Set Now -> Ok

Since a few releases gcc is localized. This can make difficult to find (google ;) ) solutions for specific problems. With this setting the output is again in english.

!! this can break displaying of non-aschii characters so you can also use LC_ALL = en_US.utf8 (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,17579.msg120613.html#msg120613)

I'm using 10.05 because that is what Linux Ubuntu 12.04 was prepared to download and install.   Candidly  I don't think this early version supports GCC.

Error message was:-

Compiling: /home/tim/0My Everything/My C/hello.c
Linking console executable: /home/tim/0My Everything/My C/hello
/bin/sh: 1: g++: not found
Process terminated with status 127 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings
 
____________

Now I can run this program 'hello.c' from Bash no probs.

Unfortunately I've not understood 95% of the replys, but I did understand changing the extension to ".c"

I think I'll return to Bash as something is 'not fully cooked', maybe its me, maybe its 10.05 of C::B,  I'm just puzzled such a simple thing as running 'hello world' is seemingly impossible from this IDE on my version of Linux.

If you want to use c++ (g++ is the executable of gcc's c++-compiler), you have to install the appropriate package explicitely with your favourite package-manager.

On Debian based systems (like Ubuntu) it should be enough to run sudo apt-get install g++ .
