Problem setting up new compiler
stahta01:
FYI:
If you still need help with the compiler I suggest here http://cboard.cprogramming.com/windows-programming/
And, I may have failed to communicate MSYS2 is closest to the Windows CygWin Compiler!!!
So, you need to use "CygWin Compiler" or edit the GCC Compiler advanced options to use forward slash in Code::Blocks compiler settings.

No, because we (the few admins) need to read every single post by law. So if we open the forum to non-C::B topics than this will keep us (admins/devs) busy. Please understand that we are rather strict on that topic (btw, as also explained in the forum rules you agreed to when registering here).
However, if you open a forum dedicated to such topics we would happily provide a link here to that forum as long as we don't need to administrate the "other forum". That would be your duty then... unless you live and host the server in a country where this doesn't matter.

@stahta01
Thank you for the link! I must say I was looking for best place to ask some MinGW, compilation, makefiles... related questions. But I am so new to this that I honestly don't even know how to ask for the right place, or how to know what's the right place (obviously there is no "MinGW forum" or "C++ compilation process forum" :D So actually any further advice would be most welcome.
@MortenMacFly
I understand, what I was saying wasn't a complaint, just my thoughts. I'm sure work on the IDE itself takes enough time already, so you all running this forum alongside is extra appreciated.
Pecan:
Google "mingw forum" and "C++ forum" for some good locations. I've used and appreciated the top results.
