    Unknown Error `ld'

    This pile of codes here has no errors in it when being compiled. However, when I tried to build it, it says:

    Code:
    -------------- Build: Debug in Funtion2 ---------------
    
    Linking console executable: bin\Debug\Funtion2.exe
    collect2: cannot find `ld'
    Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
    0 errors, 0 warnings
    Here are my codes:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    void Test( string language, string hugeNumber);
    
    int main()
    {
        string favourite = "C++";
        string favourite2 = "Java";
    
        Test( favourite, favourite2);
    
        return 0;
    }
    
    void Test ( string language, string hugeNumber)
    {
        cout<< "I like "<< language<< hugeNumber;
    }
    Please someone help me out. Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: I tried the following, but it still couldn't not work:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    void Test(std::string language, std::string hugeNumber);
    
    int main()
    {
        std::string favourite = "C++";
        std::string favourite2 = "Java";
    
        Test(favourite,favourite2);
    
        return 0;
    }
    
    void Test ( std::string language, std::string hugeNumber)
    {
        std::cout<< "I like "<< language<< hugeNumber;
    }

    There is a problem with your compiler/IDE setup, not the code. It looks like it can't find the linker tool.

    I honestly have no idea, and I'm not familiar with Code::Blocks. If you've gotten other code to work, try creating a new project and adding your code to that new project. Perhaps there's a bad setting in the current one.

    Maybe others here are familiar with a common problem with Code::Blocks that could cause the error.

    Actually, not just Codeblocks, I tried it before with Dev-C++. It also give me the same error.

    There was once, where I tried to compile a code in Dev-C++, it failed. It doesnt give any error. It just says something like "ld". However, when i compile it in Codeblock, it works. So I really need help T.T

    From other forums, they said that you might have might have not sed LD to the path. Don't know what exactly you should add. But in any case, you can always reinstall DevC++ or Codeblocks, IF that is not a big deal (like you have a lot of custom settings)
