So I downloaded 3 packages and unpacked them all into the same directory from the following URL:
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=4264.0which is the "The 20 october 2006 build is out." thread.
Anyway, I didn't have MinGW or MSYS installed on my machine previously. I started a new console project, stepping throught the wizard, and tried to build the resulting main.cpp with the menu option, Build->Build.
The following text appeared:
-------------- Build: Debug in TestCompiling ---------------
Compiling: main.cpp
Execution of 'mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -g -IC:\MinGW\include -c main.cpp -o obj\Debug\main.o' in 'C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Code\samples\cb_practice\test_cb\TestCompiling' failed.
Nothing to be done.
I spent hours trying to download a package containing 'mingw32-g++.exe'. I believe that because this program is missing, my compile is failing, would you agree? How do I obtain it? What is the exact download URL for this file? Thank you very much, the IDE looks sweet.
