I'm always having problem with code::blocks. Anytime time i run a code, even the so simple "Hello World", i get a Script Compile Error.
It says:
Filename: CommandLine
Error: end of statement expected (; or If)
Details:
I followed the instructions on cprogramming.com Any help on that? Please. TIA
If "CommandLine" is the name of your project (or source file) then the code may be failing to compile..... probably due to a missing semi-colon.
If it's not that, then your installation is broken. Ensure you have a valid download (installer or not, depending on your preferences). Then uninstall and reinstall.
If You are sure about your program then try another compiler.
which compiler r you using right now??
Assuming you're using windows, did you get the whole package?
codeblocks-10.05-setup.exe 27 May 2010 23.3 MB BerliOS or Sourceforge.net
This one is just the IDE - it allows you to edit and save files, but not build them
codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe 27 May 2010 74.0 MB BerliOS or Sourceforge.net
This contains EVERYTHING you need, including the compiler and associated tools.
You need the one with mingw included the first time you install it. If you then go for code::blocks updates, you then only need to download the smaller IDE only package.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
the code is very correct. I downloaded a new codeblock and the error still occured.Originally Posted by grumpy
am using dev c++
smaller IDE from codeblock?
Dev-C++ is a different IDE, which AFAIK uses the MinGW GCC compiler. What is the exact error you are receiving when you try to compile your "very correct" program?
By the way, what is the exact name of your source file? Is it CommandLine, CommandLine.c, CommandLine.cpp, or something else? If you leave off the extension (ie, just CommandLine), the IDE might try to use your source as a build script or something like that. Be sure to give it the proper extension (.c).
> smaller IDE from codeblock?
No!
The smaller exe is just the IDE
The larger exe is the IDE and the compiler.
If you've got a compiler, you can use anything you like to edit a text file and compile it from the command line.
The IDE is there just to make the process smoother, especially when you have multiple files.
If you've just got the IDE and no compiler, then you're screwed - you're not going anywhere.

We'll be the judge of that.
You can't even make it compile, so there's no telling where the fault is (you can't tell, that's why you're posting here).
Just present the facts and save the diagnostics to the rest of us.
PS
I think some screen shots of your attempts so far are in order.

Thanks for the advice, i found the mistake was from the extension as you said.
Thanks to the rest of you also. Am grateful
