Title: using the nightly build
Post by: rufeo on October 21, 2006, 05:27:42 am

So I downloaded 3 packages and unpacked them all into the same directory from the following URL:
http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=4264.0
which is the "The 20 october 2006 build is out." thread.

Anyway, I didn't have MinGW or MSYS installed on my machine previously.  I started a new console project, stepping throught the wizard, and tried to build the resulting main.cpp with the menu option, Build->Build.

The following text appeared:
-------------- Build: Debug in TestCompiling ---------------
Compiling: main.cpp
Execution of 'mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -g  -IC:\MinGW\include  -c main.cpp -o obj\Debug\main.o' in 'C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Code\samples\cb_practice\test_cb\TestCompiling' failed.
Nothing to be done.

I spent hours trying to download a package containing 'mingw32-g++.exe'.  I believe that because this program is missing, my compile is failing, would you agree?  How do I obtain it?  What is the exact download URL for this file?  Thank you very much, the IDE looks sweet.

THANK YOU!
Oh wow, I'm so much happier :D

I used the installer and noticed that the gcc-g++ package contained the elusive file!
Have a good night!
