Greetings all
Never touched C++. Always on Powerbasic and Lazarus Pascal.
Downloaded the codeblocks-25.03mingw-setup.exe and installed.
I assume this question has been posted a million times, but here goes.
I cant make nothing work. Installed WX widgets. That is about it.
I recon my links to resources and compilers etc is all wrong. (I did not see a default for dummies).
Nothing works. I can create a simple Dialog form, add a few buttons etc, but nothing will run. Everything is something.h not found in directory.
Please, lets consider me as rock bottom.
On a new project with one simple dialog e.g. Form1 what need to point where? What setting doe i need to have for global, what need to be set to make a simple project that will compile?
Sorry, I assume this is for advanced users, I just need to get the basics right first. Will ask lots of questions.
Many Thanks.

Attach or post your compilation log in code tags (the # in the post creation window).
Use this instructions (https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28general%29#Q:_How_do_I_report_a_compilation_problem_on_the_forums.3F) to generate it.
