Could you please help me to install C::B in a PuppyLinux distribution?

<< < (2/2)

Vigaenson:
For personal reasons I had to delay the use of CB until this week and in trying to use it, I have discovered that the first permanent window that appears after using the command line to run CB, is the "Compilers auto-detection" window that can be seen as the 1st attachment to this post.
Clicking or not clicking on A and B  of the "Compilers auto-detection" window does not change what follows:
Clicking on C brings up the window that can be seen in the 2nd attachment and the transient little window with the "Environment Error" that is marked with D.
Clicking on what has been marked E and F bring up another window.
Could you help me in dealing wit it?

Vigaenson:
The window I last mentioned in my previous post can be seen in the attachment to this post.
Here, all my knowledge came to an end.
I have tried to do many things in this window but they all don't work:
The "Environment Error" window still appears each time I start CB and I haven't learned how to correct that error.

I am aware that the operating system I'm using (Tahrpup 6.0.5) uses Geany as its default text editor.
I am also aware that Geany claims to be an IDE independent as possible from a particular Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME that only requires the GTK+ runtime libraries.
But I don't know if these facts are related in some way with the "Environment error" I'm having.
And if so, I don't know if these relations make my problem easier or more difficult to solve.

PS: Before posting I have spent a lot of time reading more results in CB's forum using "no compiler detected" and "environment error" as a search parameters. None of the results seemed to fit my case. Most of them were windows users that had to install or re-install Microsoft Visual C++ or MinGW GCC.
I have also spent some time at http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28errors%29 but unless I have missed or misunderstood something, that didn't help either.
The package manager of my distribution renders a list of about 500 items when you search for "compiler"

Should I ask its administrators which is the compiler I must download?
Or is this a problem that can be solved without their help?

yvesdm3000:
It looks like you need to install a compiler in PuppyLinux since CodeBlocks for linux never ships with a compiler.

Try to find and install a package named "gcc" in PuppyLinux ...

After googling looks like this explains your problem:

Doesn't look anything easy at all for a newbie Linux user. If I were you, I'd switch to Ubuntu or Fedora or something a lot more user-friendly...
