[help request] Code::Blocks. - Etheryte - 10-05-2009
Hey,
I've just spent about five hours trying to get Code::Blocks to work with Windows and turned up empty handed. I tried to install the GCC compiler and GDB debugger for it to work, but I failed. I'm pretty much a failure when installing something doesn't involve a GUI or a straight-forward instruction.
So my request would be - would anyone be so kind and explain setting up Code::Blocks and a C compiler/debugger for Windows, from ground up, for dummies?

Does code::blocks need the ming32 compiler?
RE: [help request] Code::Blocks. - Etheryte - 10-05-2009
As far as I understand, it needs a specific dll from it, other than that, you can use nearly any compiler you want with it. Do you have any suggestions? The version I tried to install can be fount at http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,11030.0.html
Or am I better off just getting an all-in-one compiler-debugger-editor?

Why not just use dev-c++? At least it works. May not have as much stuff as code::blocks but it's very stable.

You can extend dev-c++ using the package manager.

Microsoft Visual C++ Express '08 is pretty good. Try it out.

I got it to work after installing Dev-C++ first and had that's setup set the compilers etc. up. Thanks for the help.
