Hi All - Newbie

Hi Everyone,

I have decided to take my first steps into the world of programming with C, but can't even get my compiler to work!!

Have downloaded code blocks which seemed like a relatively simple and easy compiler to configure, as the wizard did everything, but when I try to run the following program:

insert

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
    printf("Hello world!\n");
    return 0;
}

The following appears:

"test1 - Debug" uses an invalid compiler. Probably the toolchain path within the compiler options is not setup correctly?! Skipping...
Nothing to be done.

The compiler I chose was the Intel C/C++ Compiler, so why is it not working?
Please please somebody help me...............

Exactly which package did you download? Assuming that you are on Windows, the installation package that comes with MinGW should be the one to use; you then select MinGW/gcc, not Intel. Also, be careful to choose to create a C project, not C++.

The compiling options don't even mention mingw and i cannot even paste the pic up here as the message window keeps showing a blank screen when i try to paste the results of my query!!
(pulling my hair out right now!!)
