Using code::blocks w/o a project

[dukester]

The compiler is set correctly in my C::B - GCC!! For some reason, C::B is running gcc in such a way that the obj file(s) are not created in single file, no project mode.

If you expected the linker to be called, you will not see that.
I do think it is creating an object file, but, it will be someplace that might not be expected.
Edit: My info is years out of date; I have not used it in the last 3 years.

I think what @stahta01 is saying is:

Menu/Setting/compiler and in the top comboBox choose
the compiler with "(default)" appended.
See if that solves the problem.

It might as well do the link for you. It did for me.
Or maybe i should say, it created the executable.

I tried to include a screen shot but it didn't work.
Anyway, I don't have an entry like you show with the arrow.
I just have GNU GCC Compiler with no default after it

Here you can set it as default.

The "Set as Default" button is greyed out/not active on my version of C::B. The dropdown menu works and I can select from a long list of compilers - so I chose GNU GCC Compiler - but I cannot make it the default!!

Is your GNU GCC Compiler already default(followed by "default" within a pair of parentheses )? In that case, the Set As Default button will be gray.

See reply #48 above! Anyway - I've given up on C::B on my Linux box. I've wasted enough of my and others' time. Thx for the input!!

[Grit Clef]

Sorry, I didn't read your reply#48.
But I Think This still can be solved. Could you please try closing all projects, and reset Compiler options again(my personal idea)?

[dukester]

I've already nuked C::B off my system. I first installed a binary version for Linux. No joy! Then I built from source - No joy! I'm done - especially when I can compile C code by hand on a  terminal with zero probs - or from emacs - or from geany! Thanks anyway!!

On windows, this means the currently selected compiler is the default already.
