    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.

    A simple Google search would have provided the link to the pages:

    I find it easier to just download codeblocks-20.03mingw-setup.exe from Binary releases - Code::Blocks
    You get the MinGW compiler and an IDE all from a single install, and it just works without any further messing about.

    You can still drive the MinGW compiler from the command line if you don't like the IDE.

    Unless, it has changed the one shipped with Code::Blocks has known issues in the GDB (Debugger for GCC)
