Unable To Compile

Shattered_Farewell:
Yes but you see I don't want to go downloading any more programs or anything, I was just wondering that wouldnt it be easier for me to download the .exe? And if I can, what tools in the installer should I download?

killerbot:
well I have never installed MingW with an installer from MingW itself.
I had it coming on my system twice : the first time with dev-cpp installer, and with Code::Blocks installer.

But the manual install is so much nicer, it is just unzipping, you can really trust it, no registry settings behind your back, you are in full control (well the gdb is with an installer). Really it is worth the effort.
It sounds cumbersome, but once you've done it you'll look back at it, and think, hey that's all. ;-)

[EDIT] : oh oh oh, did I mention the powerfull uninstall, no minutes waiting on add/remove programs, you can just delete the MingW directory and that's it. ;-)

Yup. :)

TDragon:
Or...

1. MinGW-5.0.2.exe, install to C:\MinGW
2. 7z432.exe, install anywhere
3. CB_20060302_rev2119_win32.7z, extract to C:\CodeBlocks
4. wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.7z, extract to C:\CodeBlocks

and you're finished. (C:\CodeBlocks\codeblocks.exe to run.)

Or, you could just follow my original instructions. Open up your global compiler settings (Settings -> Compiler, if I remember correctly), switch to the Other tab, and change the Compiler logging option to "Full command line". Then try to build your project again. When it's finished showing all the errors, switch to the "Build Log" tab down at the bottom of the Code::Blocks window, highlight the entire contents, hit Ctrl+C to copy it, then come to the forums here, create a new post, and hit Ctrl+V to paste.
