In this occasion we adjust Code:Blocks settings in accordance to our needs. MinGW is set as the default compiler(the program that generates machine code out of source code) and our first C compilation is attempted.

I just purchased the book "C++ Programming for Dummies" and have downloaded code blocks but every time I go to "Build" the program, the Build Log says "HelloWorld - Debug" uses an invalid compiler. Skiping...

I'm pretty confused right about now and it doesn't say anything about that happening in the book.

@Abolisher45 How did you install Code::Blocks, with or without the MinGW package?

@buheyra1212 It is.

you sound like a damn computer

@newtele No problem. Have fun programming.

@Abolisher45 Thanks a lot for the tip! It worked perfectly.

@gasto5 I honestly have no clue, the Code::Blocks CD came with the book, so I just slipped in the CD and went through the whole install wizard stuff and whatnot until I could finally start programming.

@newtele I went to the apple website and created a developer's account (completely free and you don't have to receive annoying e-mails). From there you have the choice between xcode 3.2.6 and xcode 4.0. I downloaded 3.2.6 because it is free, 4.0 might also be free, but I haven't checked. And there you go, just try to "build" your program again and message me if you have any more problems or if this didn't solve your problem.

@Abolisher45 That's exactly what's happening to me! Did you end up figuring it out?

@AlexsiMAC

there is nothing to be done you have already complied it with no errors
