Possible reasons.
1. It doesn't compile, because there is no compiler.
Download binary
The first time you download, you need the larger one including the mingw setup.

If you then want the latest IDE (only), then you can just get the smaller one.
2. It compiles, but the console disappears too quickly to see anything.
There's a FAQ on this.

Well, the mingw may be the solution.Originally Posted by Salem
Well, YOUR example, not mine. It's not that my failure to cooperate costs me time, it's that your failure to understand the problem is costing to me, and you, and anyone else that wants to really help.
I'll try the mingw.

Well, count it a a typo.
Then please be more careful. However, regardless of this typo error...
This misses the point: I fail to understand because you did not convey the details needed to understand. This is not your fault because you cannot be expected to know what is needed. However, when you do not follow my instructions and give appropriate feedback, how am I supposed to get the information needed to help?
Notice that Salem's post #16 presents two possibilities. If you had followed my instructions, it is possible that one of them could have been ruled out.

Well, sunshine, just hear out:
1)I'm Greek. I am not from England. I almost expected to have a grammar error.
2)I have tried both of Salem's solutions and none of them worked.
3)Of cource you don't understand the problem, as from a point and after you are just trying to correct me about pointless mistakes( or things you think they are mistakes.)
4)I think we should stop this rooster fight.
Before we rule them out, I want to be sure that you tried them correctly.
1. Create a new Code::Blocks project.
2. In the main.cpp file (or whatever the initial source file was named), enter this program:
Do not add any other code, headers or source files.Code:#include <iostream> int main() { std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl; std::cin.get(); // Pause by waiting for input in case it is needed. }
3. Build the project. What does Code::Blocks report?
4. Run the program. What output do you see?

> I have tried both of Salem's solutions and none of them worked.
But you haven't shown us what you did, what error messages you got or anything that might help us to figure out where you're going wrong.
Under the build menu, there is a build command.
Selecting this should cause things to appear in the build log.
Do you see "Compiling..." and "Linking..." or a bunch of error messages?
Check the other tabs as well, do they contain anything that might be relevant?
Explain your steps and post some evidence of what you see.
Don't just keep coming back to us with the same old "it doesn't work" every time.

Of cource, I'm not able to rule out a possibility.Well I tried it, it reports nothing at both build and run.
Answer to Salem
Wait, what is that menu under the code? I don't have it.
It should report something after the attempted build, just that you need to find the report, as you noted in your reply to Salem. Try looking through the IDE settings to see if you can add/enable a log window or something like that.

Okay. Where are the IDE settings?
Com on now, somebody?

Tim S.Q: How do I troubleshoot an compiler problem?
A: I would start by turning on full Compiler logging.
This is done by selecting the "Full command line" option Under menu "Settings" -> "Compiler and Debugger" -> Global compiler settings -> [the compiler you use] -> "Other Setting" tab, "Compiler logging".
This option will make Code::Blocks output the exact commands it uses to compile your code.
Things to remember:
You should review all the commands and their options;
If you don't know what an option or a command does please read the documentation for the compiler/linker you're using;
Look for missing commands;
For every source file (.cpp; .c; .d; etc) in your project, you must have at least one command in the log. This command must produce an object file (file extension ".o" if using gcc/g++ and ".obj" if using Visual Studio);
Every object file should be linked in the final executable, if not there are undefined symbols errors;
Remember the file extension matters: *.c is compiled as C file, *.cpp is compiled as C++ file.
