Title: Problems installing - can't compile 'Hello World!'!!
Post by: duketoga on November 28, 2007, 04:40:27 am

Well, this is puzzling. I followed the instructions for installaton of the nightly build on my WinXP system. I installed MinGW, then the nightly build plus 2 dlls in main directory as instructed. Now, when I try to compile the default console 'Hello World' program, I get this:

Compiling: main.cpp
Execution of 'mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -fexceptions  -g    -I"C:\Program Files\Code_blocks" -IC:\MinGW -I"C:\C++\Test1\main.cpp" -o obj\Debug\main.o' in 'C:\C++\Test1' failed.
Nothing to be done.

Then running the program gives: Process returned 0 (0x0)   execution time : 0.000 s
Press any key to continue.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong???

Thanks, -Duke

Your compiler is not working. Possibly it's not installed properly.

Hi, I don't see how that can be the case. I installed MinGW as instructed, and Code::blocks autodetected it and added the paths and .exe for mingw32-gcc.exe, mingw32-g++.exe, etc. for me.

So how can it not be installed correctly or called correctly from blocks?

Thanks for any help!

UPDATE: I simply hit "autodetect" again and it worked this time. Very odd since both compilers were there, the paths were set and they were in the /bin directory beforehand.

Thanks,
