Title: Brand new to CodeBlocks. In dire need of help
Post by: matrize on April 07, 2014, 03:18:29 am

Hello!

Yes, I read the rules so if this is breaking them.. please cope with me. I am tearing my hair out trying to figure this out. To get straight to the point - I can't get Codeblocks to compile. I am trying to learn my first programming language.

I'm trying the easiest thing possible, trying to see what is going on. I'm doing the 'hello world'. I type in my code in a new empty file. I save it as a .cpp file, hit f9 and I get..

Checking for existence: /home/austin/Documents/Untitled3.cpp
Executing: xterm -T '/home/austin/Documents/Untitled3.cpp' -e /usr/bin/cb_console_runner "/home/austin/Documents/Untitled3.cpp" (in /home/austin/Documents)
Process terminated with status 255 (0 minutes, 47 seconds)

I've tried a few different things but I am getting so frustrated. I just recently downloaded linux and that's just adding fuel to the flames. I'm probably making a stupid mistake. Please help. Thanks.

-Austin

Read the info on this link http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28errors%29#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_a_compiler_problem.3F (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28errors%29#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_a_compiler_problem.3F)

Please use re-build; instead of build and/or run.
