Absolute Newby. Please Help
« on: Today at 04:52:53 pm »
Greetings all
Never touched C++. Always on Powerbasic and Lazarus  Pascal.

Downloaded the codeblocks-25.03mingw-setup.exe and installed.
I assume this question has been posted a million times, but here goes.

I cant make nothing work. Installed WX widgets. That is about it.
I recon my links to resources and compilers etc is all wrong. (I did not see a default for dummies).

Nothing works. I can create a simple Dialog form, add a few buttons etc, but nothing will run. Everything is something.h not found in directory.

Please, lets consider me as rock bottom.
On a new project with one simple dialog e.g. Form1 what need to point where? What setting doe i need to have for global, what need to be set to make a simple project that will compile?

Sorry, I assume this is for advanced users, I just need to get the basics right first. Will ask lots of questions.

Many Thanks.

-Peter

Attach or post your compilation log in code tags (the # in the post creation window).

Use this instructions to generate it.
