I find it advantageous since I still have old programs I did in Dev-C++, so it's not a waste of space.

Mark - Yeah, at least Dev-C++ is simple, and I guess now it's frozen in time.

Oh hey, you know what I did? Uninstall everything, install Dev-Cpp (with MinGW), then install the latest version of Code::Blocks from the nightly build dealie, and it automatically found the MinGW installed from Dev-Cpp.

If you have MinGW set up properly, Code::Blocks will detect it anyway. Plus, the version of gcc that comes with Dev-C++ is outdated.

Code::Blocks can import Dev-C++ projects.

Is it that MINGDIR is wrong ?

If you have MinGW installed somewhere other than C:\Dev-Cpp, then probably.

I changed the MINGDIR variable to what I think it should be and tried compiling helloworld and got

Linking console executable: bin\Release\colour_converter.exe
Execution of 'mingw32-g++.exe  -o bin\Release\colour_converter.exe obj\Release\main.o   -s' in 'C:\codeblocks\1stproject\colour_converter' failed.
Nothing to be done.

...once again, so that wasn't the problem.

i know this muzt be really irratating but I do appreciate your
help, so if you think you can help me, please do.
I don't want to go and join a bhuddist monastry
to try to get rid of my desires (at least not yet).

Try manually executing "mingw32-g++.exe -o bin\Release\colour_converter.exe obj\Release\main.o -s" from the command line in the "C:\codeblocks\1stproject\colour_converter" directory and see if you get any error messages.

I get :-

minw32-g++.exe is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

LennyLen

Three options:

1) Go to Settings->Compiler and Debugger->Toolchain Executable and change the C++ compiler option to g++.exe.

2) Go to the MinGW\bin directory and rename g++.exe to mingw32-g++.exe.

3) Install the latest version of MinGW.

Thanks.

First up I should say that my project is in C (not C++).

I tried your second option and couldn't find g++.exe in the mingw32\bin directory.

It should be in the mingw\bin directory, not the mingw\mingw32\bin directory.

Thanks.
Appears I don't have a mingw directory. All I have is a mingw32 directory.
I used MinGW32-5.1.3 .
Maybe that was the wrong choice ?

LennyLen

Does your mingw32 directory contain another directory called mingw32?

Sorry I'm late.
The answer to your question is no.

LennyLen

In that case, the installer didn't install everything.

You can find a guide to manually installing the latest stable release here.

Still busy, but wondered if it was worth mentioning that although I downloaded all the files in the list my directory structure has one folder missing from the structure shown on that page.

http://www.allegro.cc/files/attachment/594202

The directory ringed in green is missing from my structure.

LennyLen

I don't have that one either, so no worries.

Well I've managed to compile hello world

Next I tried a simple allegro program but although I've installed the allegro devpak I get this compiler error :-

allegro.h no such file or directory.

So I'm stuck again.

LennyLen

Member #5,313

Have you tried using Windows file search to locate where allegro.h is?

William Labbett

Member #4,486

It's in

C:\Devpaks\include

Should I reinstall the devpak somewhere else ?

LennyLen

Just copy all the Allegro files from the Devpaks directory to the MinGW directory, ensuring that they're in the same subdirectory.
