Install Code Blocks, GCC compiler & run your first C program – Windows 10. Download Code::Blocks for free. A free C, C++ and Fortran IDE. Code::Blocks is a free, open-source, cross-platform C, C++ and Fortran IDE built to meet the most demanding needs of its users. It is designed to be very extensible and fully configurable.
Code::Blocks is an IDE packed full of all the features you will need. It has a consistent look, feel and operation across its supported platforms.
It has been built around a plugin framework, therefore Code::Blocks can be extended with plugins. Support for any kind of functionality can be added by installing/coding a plugin.
Key features include:
- Written in C++. No interpreted languages or proprietary libs needed..
- Full plugin support.
- Multiple compiler support: GCC (MingW / GNU GCC), MSVC++, clang, Digital Mars, Borland C++ 5.5, and Open Watcom etc.
- Support for parallel builds.
- Imports Dev-C++ projects.
- Debugger with full breakpoints support.
- Cross-platform.
Code::Blocks' interface is both customizable and extensible with Syntax highlighting, a tabbed interface, Class Browser, a to-do list manager with different users, and many more features that are provided through plugins.

My problem is that code::blocks error message tells me that it can't find file executable in the search path for
gnc gcc
compiler. Although, I don't know what that means. Also I typed out some code:I can't build it or run in
code::blocks
. What do I need to do? I went on line but I got some answers that are way over my head. I was able to use code::blocks once before I installed
Visual studios express 2013
. Visual studios
didn't work right either. It kept asking me to repair or uninstall every time I tried to open it. So I deleted it along with code::blocks
. Now that I re-installed code::blocks
I still can't get to work right. This problem with compilers is taking up all my time and I can't practice learning programming because I can't get any compiler to work right. I need some help, please.

I'm guessing you've installed Code::Blocks but not installed or set up GCC yet. I'm assuming you're on Windows, based on your comments about Visual Studio; if you're on a different platform, the steps for setting up GCC should be similar but not identical.
First you'll need to download GCC. There are lots and lots of different builds; personally, I use the 64-bit build of TDM-GCC. The setup for this might be a bit more complex than you'd care for, so you can go for the 32-bit version or just grab a preconfigured Code::Blocks/TDM-GCC setup here.
Once your setup is done, go ahead and launch Code::Blocks. You don't need to create a project or write any code yet; we're just here to set stuff up or double-check your setup, depending on how you opted to install GCC.
Go into the
Settings
menu, then select Global compiler settings
in the sidebar, and select the Toolchain executables
tab. Make sure the Compiler's installation directory
textbox matches the folder you installed GCC into. For me, this is C:TDM-GCC-64
. Your path will vary, and this is completely fine; just make sure the path in the textbox is the same as the path you installed to. Pay careful attention to the warning note Code::Blocks shows: this folder must have a bin
subfolder which will contain all the relevant GCC executables. If you look into the folder the textbox shows and there isn't a bin
subfolder there, you probably have the wrong installation folder specified.Now, in that same
Toolchain executables
screen, go through the individual Program Files
boxes one by one and verify that the filenames shown in each are correct. You'll want some variation of the following:- C compiler:
gcc.exe
(mine showsx86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc.exe
) - C++ compiler:
g++.exe
(mine showsx86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe
) - Linker for dynamic libs:
g++.exe
(mine showsx86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe
) - Linker for static libs:
gcc-ar.exe
(mine showsx86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-ar.exe
) - Debugger:
GDB/CDB debugger: Default
- Resource compiler:
windres.exe
(mine showswindres.exe
) - Make program:
make.exe
(mine showsmingw32-make.exe
)
Again, note that all of these files are in the
bin
subfolder of the folder shown in the Compiler installation folder
box - if you can't find these files, you probably have the wrong folder specified. It's okay if the filenames aren't a perfect match, though; different GCC builds might have differently prefixed filenames, as you can see from my setup.Once you're done with all that, go ahead and click
OK
. You can restart Code::Blocks if you'd like, just to confirm the changes will stick even if there's a crash (I've had occasional glitches where Code::Blocks will crash and forget any settings changed since the last launch).Now, you should be all set. Go ahead and try your little section of code again. You'll want
computerfreakercomputerfreakerint main(void)
to be int main()
, but everything else looks good. Try building and running it and see what happens. It should run successfully.6,11166 gold badges2525 silver badges4949 bronze badges
Just open your setting->compiler and click on the reset defaults and it will start work.

* How to Download and install CodeBlocks.* ( I have already download )
***Now, How to Solve CodeBlocks environment error.
- Go to 'Settings'----'Compiler'----'Selected compiler'( GNU GCC Compiler ).
- Than, Selected 'Toolchain executables'.
- Now, '( C:Program Files (x86)CodeBlocksMinGW )'

For that you need to install binary of GNU GCC compiler, which comes with MinGW package. You can download MinGW( and put it under C:/ ) and later you have to download gnu -c, c++ related Binaries, so select required package and install them(in the MinGW ). Then in the Code::Blocks, go to Setting, Compiler, ToolChain Executable. In that you will find Path, there set C:/MinGW.Then mentioned error will be vanished.

Fistly, Code Blocks is not a compiler. It is just an integrated development environment.
So, you must show the path of your compiler at first, (if you dont have a compiler you have to download an install, it is not difficult to find. f.e. GCC is good one.)If code blocks could not find automatically the path of compiler it is an obligation to show it yourself.
But when you install, probably Code Blocks automatically find your compiler.
Enjoy.

- Uninstall/Remove your current codeblocks compiler.
- Install codeblocks using this link that contains GCC compiler files: http://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Binaries/13.12/Windows/codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup-TDM-GCC-481.exe.
- Now go to : Settings > Compiler.... > ToolChain Executables Tab
- CLICK on Auto-detect button and then click OK button. Now just restart CodeBlocks and start writing your codes and use the Build and run option. It will RUN normally.

I had also found this error but I have solved this problem by easy steps. If you want to solve this problem follow these steps:
Step 1: First start code block
Step 2: Go to menu bar and click on the Setting menu
Step 3: After that click on the Compiler option
Step 4: Now, a pop up window will be opened. In this window, select 'GNU GCC COMPILER'
Step 5: Now go to the toolchain executables tab and select the compiler installation directory like (C:Program Files (x86)CodeBlocksMinGWbin)
Step 6: Click on the Ok.
Now you can remove this error by follow these steps. Sometimes you don't need to select bin folder. You need to select only (C:Program Files (x86)CodeBlocksMinGW) this path but some system doesn't work this path. That's why you have to select path from C:/ to bin folder.
Thank you.

This simple in below solution worked for me.http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=17336.0
I had a similar problem. Please note I'm a total n00b in C++ and IDE's but heres what I did (after some research)So of course I downloaded the version that came with the compiler and it didn't work. Heres what I did:1) go to settings in the upper part2) click compiler3) choose reset to defaults.
Hopefully this works

Here's an easy way for Windows users.
- Uninstall the existing codeblocks from your system.
- Restart system.
- Go to http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26
- Download the codeblocks-16.01mingw-setup.exe file. It includes the GCC/G++ compiler and GDB debugger from TDM-GCC (version 4.9.2, 32 bit, SJLJ).
