Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout<<"HEY, you, I'm alive! Oh, and Hello World!\n"; cin.get(); return 1; }
That's the code I put in there(Yes its from the very first lesson :P )
And I get this error when I try to build and run it..
Can someone help me out?.."Jesses C++ - Debug" uses an invalid compiler. Skipping...
Nothing to be done.
What command are you doing to compile this?
bit∙hub [bit-huhb] n. A source and destination for information.
I tell it to "Build" and it gives me that error.
In that case, what compiler are you using (or attempting to use)? My best guess right now is that you are using an IDE without selecting a compiler for it to use.

I'm used CodeBlocks. It worked for me before and I got a new computer and this happened.
How do I fix it?.
Did you get Code::Blocks with compiler or Code::Blocks without compiler? If the latter, you will need to have a compiler (since Code::Blocks isn't, itself, a compiler).Originally Posted by Jesse20ghet

BTW, returning anything other than 0 from main means error. It's a way for programs to inform the OS that something went wrong.
Yeah I got the compiler I'm sure.
Yeah cyber thanks :P. Its just in the tutorial.
Really? Are you sure it's not return 0? Which tutorial are you following?Yeah cyber thanks :P. Its just in the tutorial .
Settings -> Compiler and Debugger...
At the very top is "Selected Compiler". Make sure it matches the compiler you have.
How do I know if it matches my compiler or not?
Surely you should know what compiler you have....
Ugh. For such a simple example, why bother with an IDE at all? Learn how to run the compiler on the command line and/or use a makefile. You can use an IDE when you start building more complex programs, but for learning exercises like this they just get in the way, and maybe even make it harder to learn.
Ugh. Comments like these are highly subjective, and we had a discussion about these before, and I am going to tell you that I 100% disagree. Command lines are evil, and so are make files. Make files are especially evil for small, easy projects.
This is all subjective, but then again, so is your opinion. An IDE is the best thing to do for a newbie.
What do you think an IDE is, except a pretty face on a make file?
