Very VERY new to this, but can't find the answer

I private messaged you, because I didn't think my laying into you for being something of an a-hole would be appropriate on the public forum page, but since you seem intent on proving that point anyway, fine. I WON'T PM you.

Please calm down or you get banned from the forum !!
You are the one that asked for help, Tim is the one who tried to do so.
So what's your problem ?
--- Quote from: jacksdemise on September 03, 2015, 10:16:57 pm ---In reference to the other problem, I did exactly what you said: Right clicked my project, selected 'Properties,' selected the 'Build Targets' tab, and from there I have no option of selecting anything to do with build targets. Your move.

--- Quote from: jacksdemise on September 03, 2015, 09:52:50 pm ---i see nothing that says, "Select build target options." I do see "Build Options" and under that tab only "Produce debegging symbols (-g)" is checked.

That's what you wrote, so please don't say you did exactly what Tim said.
Either you did not tell the truth in your first post or in the other !
And if you do not have "Project -> Properties -> Build targets -> Selected build target options" you must have a very special version of Code::Blocks.
Please try it again (to find these options) and post the settings there.

Ha!
Ya know what? Forget it.
You tell me to calm down when your own people are the ones typing in all caps and using double exclamation points.
I told you in the beginning that I'm new to this, and you've been utterly useless in helping me out.
I'll gladly work it out on my own or go elsewhere for help.
What \n
a n\
joke.

I know I'm evil, that's my job as moderator in this forum.
Nevertheless, if you really want help, just give the needed information instead of trying to say that nobody wants to help you.
It's impossible to help you, if you do not give the information we need.
With such an attitude you will not get help in any serious forum, mailing-list or whatever.

No one called you evil, and I did what I could to provide the information necessary.
As I explained in the beginning, I'm new to all of this, so naturally, it would make sense for the people who are actually trying to help to approach the situation as one would a child. In other words without condescension, without typing in all caps or using multiple, emphatic punctuation which otherwise designates extreme [and unnecessary] emotion, and with - above all else - a spirit of understanding and patience.
Tim S. did everything - to the letter - that someone who is "trying to help" should not, so yeah, I got frustrated. In response, I sent him a private message to ensure that my emotions of frustration weren't smeared across the internet, and the response? Yelling and an utter lack of patience and understanding.
Moderate all you want, Jen. I'm calm as a cucumber at this point. I'm just saying that unless you put people on here who actually want to help, you're going to keep running into the same problems. People like Tim are the only reason people like you - the mods - are even necessary in the first place.
You're not evil. You're just not necessary if there's real help being offered.
Might suck to hear, but it is nevertheless accurate.
I received no help from you or Tim and will find my own way. Thank you, Tim, for absolutely nothing but demonstrating how not to be.
Jenna:
I don't think it's worth the discussion, because it looks like you do not want any help, just trolling here.
--- Quote from: stahta01 on September 03, 2015, 09:31:18 pm ---Edit: Right click on the project and select properties.
Select tab: "Build Targets"
What is "type" set to under "Select build target options"?

You still did not answer this simple question.
How do you expect anybody to help you ?
Tim did not yell, except after your pm. I do not know what you wrote him, that should not make it into the public.
But I never send anybody I don't know a pm without asking him before.
