Hi.
I've been programming for years with all flavors of BASIC, and have recently decided to switch to c/c++. I wrote a few programs while learning using Borland's Turbo C++ compiler 1.01, in other words, for DOS. Since I rather like a few of those programs, I wanted to recompile them to be native win32 programs (I think what I want is a console program, but I don't exactly know the difference between all those different types of programs. My only experience with window's programming is VB6). I am using the latest build of Code::Blocks and the MinGW compiler. How would I do this? Do I need to create a project, or can I just compile the source files? Can it even be done?
Since I'm completely new to C::B and to real windows programming but want to learn, I would really appreciate a detailed explanation, and if possible some background about the difference between DOS/Windows programming. (I guess that is probably outside the scope of this forum, so if someone could point me to the background I want)
Thanks

Hi,

you need a Codeblock project to compile your sources. Just check the wizards (New Project) to get a simple project.

I tried that on one of the programs (one without graphics. I assume graphics won't work. Am I right?). It came up with a lot of errors.
