Learn how to cut and paste; and, please use code tags!

Edit: Please learn to also follow direction and post the full build log!

Edit2: The little you posted implies a bad compiler installation; I will look for the directions that I posted in the past to try to troubleshoot this issue.

Edit3: Link to the direction on my github site https://github.com/stahta01/stahta01.github.io/blob/master/CodeBlocks/CB_Trouble_Shooting/CodeBlocks%20MinGW%20GCC%20Troubleshooting.txt (https://github.com/stahta01/stahta01.github.io/blob/master/CodeBlocks/CB_Trouble_Shooting/CodeBlocks%20MinGW%20GCC%20Troubleshooting.txt)

I feel rotten today; so, I hope I wrote clear enough directions for you to follow.

Edit4: Posted the steps here on the forum http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,20359.msg138588.html#msg138588 (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,20359.msg138588.html#msg138588)
To comment on the directions use that thread.
To post your info and ask questions about your setup use this thread.
If in doubt use your own thread to post.

Try saving the file. You edited but did NOT save it; the "*" before the name means it has NOT been saved.
Also, I suggest using CB Projects and adding the file to the project.

Try using the C++ header instead of old name that ends in ".h".

And, try learning how to cut and paste text !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
