Setting up MingW and Codeblocks
« on: 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

Error has turned animals into men, and to each the fold repeats.
We left the apes to rot, but found the fang grows within.
The fear is excruciating, but therein lies the answer.

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.
