Makefile missing:

I'm new to C++ programming, and I have started on my first program, Hello World. I'm using KDevelop in Linux and in the message area it started to tell me that my makefile is missing. Since I'm new to programming I only have a vague idea what this is. Please tell me how to fix the problem!
Thanks!

This is a C# thread.This post should be at C++ thread.

Moved

Several things, 1. This is the first time that I have been to this site, so I don't know how things are laid out and work. 2. I am new to programming and this is the first time that I have heard of a C#, I thought there were 2 kinds of C programs, C and C++. 3. I thought I put it in the C++ thread section. If I put it in the wrong area please let me know where it should go and how to put it there. 4.Once again, I'm new to this site, today is the first day that I have been here. Thanks for your help!

Welcome to the forum I did not say anything with "evil" intention.. I just notice it and thought that it would be good to notify...This way your post is moved where it should be, thus giving your post more views by people who can help you I am not one them though...

C , C++ and C# are programming languages.

Thanks for letting me know! Do you know how I can move it and where it should go, or is it already moved? Thanks!

salem moved it already for you

For next time it is good to know : When you arrive on the forum you see a list of threads.The one that says C++ Programming is for C++. The one that says C Programming is for C ..

However i do not know to answer the question of the poster so i quote it here :

How are you creating the project ?

Unless you can and need to write the makefile yourself, go through
Project -> New From Template ->Standard -> Terminal

That will give you a simple cmake based project you can compile and run.

I am creating a new blank file, copying the typing in the code from the tutorial that I'm studying and then putting it in g++ and gcc. I'm using an older version of KDevelop, and it doesn't have the Terminal template. I'll have to check on my other computer later on....it has a newer KDevelop. I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks for the help!

I have looked in my newer version of Kdevelop(my newer version is 4.2 while my older version is 3.5) and it doesn't have this option....is there something else that I can do? Thanks!

I was using 4.3 ( upgraded to 4.4 today) but as far as I remember, project options were available in the previous versions.
If you do not see the project menu, it is probably that the package you use does not include the default plugins.

Anyway, you can always use the Terminal widget or the quick compile script.
( both you have to invoke and run manually, not by clicking the 'compile' button'.)

How do I invoke the Terminal widget and the quick compile script?

I tried using the quick compile but I have no idea what the Command thing is in the Create new external script; it wants me to type in a command, which I tried, but it got me nowhere. I included a screen shot of what I was doing when I first started the thread.

Oh, sorry, I should've included a screenshot for the insertion of command that that I'm not sure about.
