But then I’ve been out of school for a while. This seems a “toss’m into the deep end” class. If youre planning installing a compiler after youve installed Code::Blocks, read the information provided in the installer. Go to settings>Compiler>ToolChainExecutables and click the auto-detect button, and it should now. Saves on the arriving questions for the instructor. After installation is complete open CodeBlocks.

(Do be careful to shut down your hosted guests, just as soon as you’re done.)Ī computer science class using Code::Blocks? For what seems an intro course (and C, C++, and Fortran are all odd choices for an intro course), I’d tend to expect the instructor provide a pre-built guest image (prolly Linux) and the steps to install and use same. Windows hosting and Linux hosting is widely available.ĪWS has a free tier available for a year: Microsoft has available 90-day test images. Or somewhat less resource-intensive… Install Boot Camp. I’d want 16 GB memory and more would be preferable for a hypervisor and development. Intel Core i5 can run Microsoft Windows as a guest in Parallels or otherwise, or via Boot Camp.
