Title: C++ Beginner here: Trouble installing Code::Block - Please help.
Post by: eastcoastguy on June 30, 2010, 09:33:23 pm

I purchased C++ All-in-One for Dummies. I download the contents on the included disk and tried to run the code and received the following error:

  "SayHello - Debug" uses an invalid compiler [YOUR ANSWER IS ALREADY THERE. SEARCH THE FORUMS!]....Skipping...Nothing to be done.

Can someone please advise me as to what I need to do?  Thanks in advance,  Jac
