Build/Run Not Working
realitychec:
I've tried several times uninstalling and reinstalling Code::Blocks. v 17.12. on Windows 10. I keep getting warnings that there's no executable compiler. I've tried selecting different compilers and none of them work. When I hit Build, nothing happens. When I click Run, nothing happens. I need help, please. Also, the bottom half of the screen is blank. There's supposed to be columns for output, messages, and other things. I can't remember all of the columns but they're gone and I don't see a way of viewing them. I've clicked on nearly every menu. :'(

Did you try installing a compiler?
Or using the "codeblocks-17.12mingw-setup.exe" which installs an old MinGW GCC compiler?
Did you try "View" -> "Logs"?

For sure, this user has downloaded the first windows C::B link, so without compiler.
For the next release, I suggest to change the order of the downloads for windows and put at the first link the version with compiler for admins.
The note indicating "If unsure, please use codeblocks-17.12mingw-setup.exe!' should also be placed before this first link and in italic, as it is, but also in bold characters.
Obviously too many (noob) users click on the first link they find without reading the page.

Yes, I installed "codeblocks-17.12mingw-setup.exe. I just did the view>logs and now the bottom half appears. Thank you. I didn't know what it was called. What do I do about a compiler? Now, I'm receiving the following error:
Tried to run compiler executable 'C:\MinGW/bin/mingw32-gfortran.exe', but failed!
Run aborted...
I've tried choosing different compilers but none of them are working.

You need a FORTRAN compiler to compile FORTRAN code!
NOTE: The one last shipped with CB has had many complaints about it not working well.
Edit: You need to search here and else where to find a good FORTRAN compiler!
