empty build log?
« on: January 23, 2008, 01:05:46 am »
i used to use code::blocks a while back, i know barely anything about c++, but made a few basic calculators and stuff, really liked it.

but now, after a fresh OS install, i re-install the latest nightly, try it out, but whenever i compile, whatever i compile, i get nothing.
to be more precise, it jumps to the build log tab, but the tab remains empty, i can't see it doing anything else.
any idea what's causing this? i've placed the files snuggly next to the exe, to my knowledge, it should work, but it doesn't.

Try to be a little bit more precise about your problem and your config :

compiler detected? which one
You say you got nothing in the build log tab, but have you got an executable created? i think not but i just can think of it, because you don't tell it!

You say you have placed the files next to the exe, but which files?

sorry, my mistake, my post might not have been very clear because my mind wasn't very clear, at the time of writing. lucidity is nice, but something i've been lacking lately, my apologies.

GNU compiler, it didn't say it detected it on first time start up, which i think it did before the fresh install, but it's the one i used last, and, logically, none of the others said anything.

no executable.

mingw and wxwidget, next to the c::b exe.

Maybe you should verify compiler settings in menu "settings/compiler and debuger", global compiler settings and verify the paths in "Toolchain executables" tab. Be sure the installation path is the good one and that all.
