Well i started learning C++ yesterday and i wanted to test what i have learned so far by making something so i asked someone what a good compiler / editor was and they said Code blocks so i downloaded it made something really simple i hit build and run and nothing happens i don't think it is the program i made because i have tried other things that people have made and it doesn't work. I'm using windows 7 64-bit (intel celeron processor) and the newest version of code blocks
-
it doesn't work
We can't answer these kind of questions...
What exact steps you have play with C::B? please give more details.
-
sorry when i say it doesn't work i mean nothing happens at all
-
Please note the program ESP plug-in is not working.
What did you do? That you expected something to happen.
What is your OS? Found windows 7 64-bit (intel celeron processor) in your post.
Compiler name and Version?
Code::Blocks version? Newest version is NOT an acceptable answer; unless you are building Code::Blocks from the SVN trunk and then I want an SVN value.
Please turn on Full Compiler Logging see Wiki FAQ for directions.

Please note: Your friend lied to you; Code::Blocks is an Editor/IDE it is NOT an compiler.

You are most likely using an Old version on MinGW; but since you have no knowledge of it; this is just a guess based on the other newbies.
Find the compiler installation folder?
Open an CMD.exe window and cd to the compiler installation folder
Then cd to the bin sub folder
The run gcc -v to get the version
Then run g++ to get version and verify the file exists.
Report both version numbers or the errors!

the first thing you told me to type says cannot find path specified? does that mean i need to download it or something? i was never told to do this ):<
edit: that folder is in the codeblocks folder should i move it to that place on my harddrive?

Did you install a compiler?
If no, install one.
If yes, then USE the path of the compiler you installed!!!
edit: that folder is in the codeblocks folder should i move it to that place on my harddrive?
No, use the path to where it is installed!

No, I give up you need a person on site to help you type commands.
You should ask a person, on site, who knows the basics to help you find the problem.
If you can not CD to a folder you are not a person that can be help without more effort than I have time to give.

ugh D:
-
Go to "Settings -> Compiler and debugger -> Global compiler settings -> GCC -> Toolchain executables" and try autodetect of the compilers installation dir.
If that does not work, you have to chose it manually (it should be the one you found below C::B's folder, do not use the bin-folder, but the one that contains it).
