Thread: Beginner question: Error with the compiler

I've learned html, css, some of java, and bits and pieces of other languages, and now I think its time to learn C++ because I can do a lot more with it then any other language. Well I took the first step to download the code blocks compiler suggested by this site.

I did everything that the tutorial told me to, and then when it came to run the practice program by hitting f9, this message came up:

"New Project - Debug" uses an invalid compiler. Probably the toolchain path within the compiler options is not setup correctly?! Skipping...
Nothing to be done.

Anything I can do about that?
Thanks,
D3

Ahhh thank you I figured it out. I just had to reset all the defaults... and now it works!

How did you reset all to the defaults?

Please, help me.
Cause I have the same situation with first start of the Compiler.

Try to locate your (Settings), then go to (Compiler and Debugger...), then find (Reset Defaults). I'm using CodeBlocks, but I figure it's the same with most compilers, you just need to keep looking.
