Problem w/ codeblocks vs CPP (printf undefined reference)

**Ctylersills** · 03-20-2019

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
{
    int a;
    int howMany;
    int maxAmmt = 25;
    printf("How many loops? (Max: 25)\n");
    scanf("%d", &howMany);
    for(a = 1; a <= maxAmmt; a++){
        printf("%d\n", a);    <<<-------------
        if(howMany == a){
            break;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

on the gcc codeblocks Im getting this error saying undefined reference to printf, its the SAME code from CPP. When I google a bunch of answers say to used stdio.h. However, as you can see, I already included this. What do I need to do?

nvm, had to relink mingw32 directory for compiler. Anybody know why I keep running into having to hit auto detect when I start up code blocks or I get a random error, or no compiler error? Its very weird, it shows the directory in global compiler settings > toolchain already. But then I hit auto detect, then everything runs fine???

You might have better luck posting about IDE specific problems on the Code Blocks community forum.

Thanks, not a big issue but would like to fix it. It’s a problem with my grandmothers computer that I use when I’m over there so I’ll do that next time I’m there.

If you figure out which compilers are causing the issue; you can set a path in those compilers.
I think I use C:/null to get rid of that message years ago. Where C: was a valid drive; but, null was an invalid path.
