MinGW problems
killerbot:
the 7 zip file (and the the dll it contains) are correct. It is a runtime dll needed for multi threaded application created with the mingw gcc compiler.
You need it to be able to start up CB. So either that dll is next to the cb exe, or is is in your path. Dos/windows/linux environment variable (%PATH% ... and so on), so it is not the on inside CB.
So i guess you can start CB correctly, since you are already talking about menus inside CB ;-)
Then we have the fact that you want to use the (mingw) gcc compiler inside cb to build your code. Therefor you need to have it installed on your system, and tell Cb where it is.
If you installed it in the typical location : C:\MinGW, then Cb should be able to find it, you can check that inthe compiler settings the toolchain tab.
killerbot:
so check if the gcc compiler is installed correctly, and that the path of cb is correct (I think you don't even have to specify the bin, CB will try to locate in the dir you specify, or in a bin subdir of that specified dir).
I will check tomorrow on my laptop, which can boot also in windows. Currently I am on linux.

Yes, the dlls are next to the C::B executable.
I would try a manual install of MinGW, but all of the links here:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=MinGW_installation
are broken.
I also cannot see equivalent files for each on the MinGW sourceforge page:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435

The MinGW seems to be having issues, most likely sf.net is having redirection issues.
I could not download automatically.
Are you in the US?
If so, I can post links to the files in the US.
Per this thread, IE is still working on SF.net, but FireFox is not.

Note, I could not get the files with IE7 so maybe IE6 works?

Hi Tim :D
Primarily I use Opera, but having tried both this and IE7, neither have worked.
I'm in the UK (and I'll be going to bed soon, its 12:30 here :D), but I'd probably also be able to D/L from US links?
