Title: Not able compile programs with Code:blocks
Post by: speedy on October 29, 2009, 07:02:50 pm

I am new to Code:Blocks.
I started a new project,created a C file,typed the program but when I compile it nothing is happening.
When I press build and then execute nothing happens.
I even tried C++ program but the same problem crops up.
What should I do to compile and run the program properly?
Can somebody please guide me through.
It would be of great help.

What OS?
What version/SVN of Code::Blocks?
What compiler and version of compiler?

If Vista or Windows 7 the compiler packaged with Code::Blocks 8.02 does not work with that OS!!

I am using Windows XP Professional 32bit OS.
Version of Code:Blocks is 8.02
I used GNU GCC compiler,Boroland C/C++ compiler5.5 .Intel C/C++ compiler.
But it didn't work.

What compiler did/do you have installed?
What is the installation path to the compiler?

Got it.
I created a C file from the main page,wrote the code and tried to compile it but it didn't work.
But when I opened create a project and selected console application and did the same it worked.

I was told that windows 7 Professional can run xp as an alt OS and that I would be able to run the codeblocks compiler if I bought that particular version of windows 7 (professional). Do you know if that is true, I'm mildly irritated with Vista at this point.

Google something like "windows 7 XP Mode" It has been stated in other site that only certain INTEL CPUs support XP Mode.

NOTE: The site is for programmers to ask questions about Code::Blocks; NOT, for beginners to ask questions about the basics of programming.

Do you know what an Compiler is?
Your words imply that you are a newbie at programming and support groups.

Edit: If you have an compiler reading link might help you.

I give up helping you; because you can NOT read and answer simple questions.
