noob to the *blocks" here!
noob to C as well.
I want to simply compile a single c source code file, without having to go through all the project file stuff etc - like in emacs & geany etc.
Is it possible with code::blocks? TIA ..
Yep, just create a file in a temp folder like:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello World! Welcome to your first C++ program!" << std::endl; }
Start CodeBlocks and use Menu/File/Open or just ctrl-o keys
and hit the compile icon (the gear icon).
Click on the "Build log" tab to make sure no errors occured.
Clik on Menu/Build/Run.
You should see a console open with "Hello World! Welcome to your first C++ program!" as output.
Easier than that is:
Load Codeblocks and do:
If you get messages like: "HelloWorld already exists, do you want to overwrite it?", answer yes.
1) Menu/file/new/project...
2) Double click "Project application"
3) Click on "next" two times. Enter the name "HelloWorld" (no spaces) in the project title.
4) Click on "next" and "finished"
5) On the Project tab double click "main.cpp" to open the file.
Cl6) Cick on the compile (gear icon) to compile, then Menu/Build/run (or the green right-pointing run arrow).

What OS and what version of CodeBlocks are you using?
show us your hello world code inside codetags (the # above a reply box).

I restarted CB after disabling plugins.
I performed the following.
1) Menu/File/New/EmptyFile
2 copy/pasted your code into the Untiled1 editor.
3) Menu/File/Save as/ into Home/pecan/temp/HellowWorld.c
4) Menu/Build/Build
5) Menu/Build/Run
The results are in the .jpg attached.

There something weird in your build log.

What is that line that begins with "/usr/bin/bash". What the heck is that??
Look at my Build log. there are only two lines. And nothing to do with bash. That line is wiping out your .o file.
