Error on Startup

<< < (2/2)

Supercap2F:
I tried to but it was grayed out (it wouldn't let me click on it).  :(

Vuki:
Can you select MinGW compiler from the list on the toolbar? Did you try to compile the project? What is the output in the Compiler pane window?

Try also this: create a console project from the New Project Wizard, select MinGW compiler, try to compile the project. This will verify that your configuration is correct.

As for the error you mentioned - the one in a yellow popup. Usually you may ignore it. Some projects have targets for different compilers, e.g. Visual C++ and MinGW. If you do not have some of these compillers installed, you will get this warning. It's annoying, but you may safely ignore it if you have installed at least one compiler.

What really matters is the ouput shown in the Compiler tab after you try to compile your project.
If you still have problems, please post full compiler log (see Forum rules).

OK, Heres what I did: Opened Code::Blocks, Clicked 'File' -> 'New' -> 'Project'. Clicked: 'Console application' -> 'Go'. The wizard opened. I clicked 'Next' selected 'C' for the Syntax. typed in a project title, clicked 'Next'. Clicked the 'Compiler' drop down list, and MinGW was not in it. Did I do something wrong?  Can you give me step-by-step instructions on what I need to do?

Thanks so much for your time  ;D

Try looking for "GNU GCC Compiler".

Yes that was there! I selected it and created the project. I typed in the sample code that they had in the book, and it ran the program. It seems to be working for now(the program did what it was supposed to), but if it stops or I get stuck, I will be back!

Thanks Guys! :)
