To compile and run simple console applications such as those used as examples in these tutorials it is enough with opening the file with Code::blocks and hit F9. This can be explicitly enabled by going to:Īnd here, within 'Global compiler settings', in 'Compiler settings' tab, check the box 'Have g++ follow the C++11 ISO C++ language standard ': If you have a version of GCC as compiler (such as MingW for Windows), chances are it will come with support for the most recent version of C++ disabled by default. We have to go to the menu and at the end, we will find the settings option, select that one and go to the compiler option from the context menu as shown. On Windows, run the downloaded executable file, and follow its instructions. If unsure, download the one named ' '.įor Linux and Mac users, download the version corresponding to your distribution. This version that includes MingW is sufficient to follow these tutorials, letting you compile the examples right away. For most of you it will be 'GNU GCC Compiler'. Under 'Selected compiler' select the name of the compiler you are using. This will open the 'Compiler and debugger settings dialog'.

On the Code::Blocks menu, go to 'Settings', next click on 'Compiler and Debugger.'.
