Title: Why don't my programs compile and run in Ubuntu?
Post by: JM1082 on May 25, 2011, 09:43:25 pm

Hi all,

I'd love to be able to swap from Windows to Ubuntu completely but I can't get my Ubuntu Codeblocks to build & run my programs.

When I select build & run I get a window pop up saying "Permission denied" and "Nothing to be done" in the build log instead of my program output.

If anybody has a solution to this problem I'd be eternally grateful!

Please see the picture attached for an example of the problem.

1. at least you have to save the file with an appropriate file-ending (.c in your case), to make it compilable.
2. I suggest using a wizard created project to do the first steps ("File -> New -> Project -> Console application")
If you need to debug your program, you have to use projects anyway, because debugging standalone-files is not (yet ?) supported.

Success! Thank you!
:^)

But how comes it works without a project in the Windows version?  Does it have something to do with the MingW compiler???

You can compile and run a single file without a project in windows and linux, but you need a proper file-ending to make C::B know which compiler to invoke.
But debugging does not work without a project, neither on linux nor on windows !
