: Setting up MingW and Codeblocks
: warlock91 August 09, 2015, 07:58:17 PM

I'm not sure if this goes here or in Programming Newbies. Here it is anyway.

I'm trying to use this video to setup my interface but there's a part (at about 3:50) where he says to create a new path in the Environment Variables window of System Properties. He types in a path but doesn't say what the characters are and more importantly I can't even see the letters in the video. Any help with this?  :'(

Edit: I forgot the youtube link... lmao... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrvJeGU9As0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrvJeGU9As0)

You don't need to add the path if you're going to write programs in Codeblocks. But if you want to use gcc independently with a text editor (lovely notepad, notepad++ etc)
copy the path/of your codeblocks/installation/MingW/bin

And paste it in PATH in system environment variables. Figure it out yourself (hint: yourself+=google)

Ohh ok. I thought I had completely missed a step in the installation. I already had codeblocks installed with gcc and deleted it because of this. Much thanks.
