Please comment below and I’ll be glad to help you out. Join our free C programming course and get better at C!Īre you still having issues with the compiler? Step 9: You have successfully written your first C program. The icon has a yellow gear and a green play logo. Step 8: Write the code for Hello World and click the Build and Run icon located in the toolbar on the top. Step 7: Check the boxes shown below to include the files in the Debug folders. Notice how the default folder is the project folder we created in step 2. Step 6: Save the file with the extension ‘.c’ and your desired filename. Similarly, if you can’t see the Manager window on the left and the Log window at the bottom, you can select to view them from the ‘View’ drop-down. If you can’t see any toolbars, head on to the ‘View’ drop-down, select toolbars and select Main and Compiler, the toolbars should now appear on your screen.
Step 5: From the topmost toolbar, select the new file icon and create an empty file. Check the boxes as shown in the screenshot to create the debug files. Now whenever you start a new project, when you get to the wizard screen that says something like "Please select the compiler to use.", select "GNU GCC Compiler" (again it should be the first option).Step 4: Make sure that the selected compiler is the one we just installed. select the "Resource compiler" subtab, hit the add button and enter MINGWROOT\include.select the "Linker" subtab, hit the add button and enter MINGWROOT\lib.Hit the add button and enter MINGWROOT\include select the "Search directories" tab, and then select the "Compiler" subtab.(It's the folder that contains the bin, include, and lib subfolders). hit the "." button and manually choose the root folder of the mingw version you want to use.That may or may not work if you have multiple versions of mingw/tdm-gcc on your computer. Select "GNU GCC Compiler" (it should be the very first option).In the global compiler settings dialog that you're showing above: If the codeblocks installer failed to setup mingw for you, here's how you can manually add it.
