Title: Wont create FirstProject\SayHello folder
Post by: chuckishman on November 02, 2011, 07:02:19 pm

I just downloaded C::B onto my Dell laptop and opened it and attempted to get started but it would not create the target folder: FirstProject\SayHello. Any ideas on what I should do?

Also, I have already set C::B up on my Acer and am having trouble on that also.

Downloaded the C::B manual but did not find anything about "setup" or "configuration" so how do I know it is set up correctly?

Very frustrating!

How are you specifying the project directory? If you just type "FirstProject\SayHello" into the "Folder to create project in" edit in the project wizard, that won't work. You need to use the browser button, the thing with the ... on it, to navigate to an existing directory that you are allowed to  write to, and then modify this path by adding the directory name, or better still by simply entering the project name.

You could browse through the pages of user documentation (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=User_documentation) in the wiki for further details on setup and usage.
