I am running Code::Blocks version 13.12 on Windows 7. The compiler I use is GNU GCC Compiler.
When I simply try to build and run the first and simplest program, "Hello World", I get the error in the build log "----------- Build: Debug in Project (compiler GNU GCC Compiler) ------------" (without the parentheses of course).
Build log:
----------- Build: Debug in Project (compiler GNU GCC Compiler) ------------
I have already tried following the instructions on both the troubleshooting and FAQ pages, regarding building the project from the command line, which, assuming I did everything right, did not work (then again, I am not tech-savvy, only learning). I also tried selecting "Full Command Line" in the "Computer Logging" space under "Other Settings" in the "Global Compiler Settings" section, but it didn't help me with the problem.
As to a previous suggestion that I don't know what a compiler is: from what I figure, a compiler, well, compiles. It translates the lines of code we write into the ones and zeros the computer can understand so it can then build the program from it (correct me if I'm wrong).
Bottom line, I really want to get into programming, and it's frustrating that I have to deal with this "hindrance" from point one.
