its not doing any building
« on: June 13, 2016, 07:52:42 pm »
I am learning how to code c and I was copying a 7 line program and when I hit build, nothing happened. There are no errors that pop up and no indication that its doing any thing at all. I did this several times with a min in between. Please help.

Do you have a project?
Have you installed a compiler?
Have you inspected the logs in the log & others panel?
(most of the time I ignore long posts)

There are no notes at all. And I am pretty sure I do but it keeps on saying its failing.

There should be written someting in the "Build Messages" tab
If you can't find a tab with "Build Messages" at the bottom of codeblocks try these steps:
Look if you have checked View->Logs so that you can see the log window
In the "log & others" window make a right klick on a tab and look if Toggle->Build Messages is checked

If so, then follow the instructions written here: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28general%29#Q:_How_do_I_report_a_compilation_problem_on_the_forums.3F

[PS:] Is there a yellow pop up window if you start codeblocks where it is written that a compiler is missing? What operating system are you using?
