When the installer is finished click yes to run Code::Blocks Programs will need to be restarted for this change to take effect.Ĭode::Blocks is an IDE (integrated development environment). Head to their website and download the latest version ( at the time of writing) Type a semi colon after the last entry in path and then paste your MinGW path (it should be C:\MinGW\bin if you chose the default location).Īfterwords open up a command prompt and type path to make sure it worked (you should see minGW somewhere in the print out, probably near or at the end). Navigate to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings and then:
Code blocks for windows 10 download install#
įrom the options install mingw32-base and mingw32-gcc-g++`, you can also install the other components if you wish, but all you need is the c++ compiler (g++). MinGW is a c/c++ compiler for windows, head to their website and download the latest version. You’re obviously interested in open source or you wouldn’t be here - so I’m telling you to take the plunge, go all in, close this tab and grab an image of Ubuntu or Mint if you want to be just like me and become enlightened! Linux is quite often the first priority for developers of open source tools and windows support is sometimes an after thought. I also personally recommend staying away from IDEs. and using Linux is the best way to see and learn how this works. Most people I know barely understand setting up their own C++ projects and linking to 3rd party libraries etc. Why should you use Linux? There’s a lot of reasons in my opinion but right now I am going to keep it simple.
Much to my dismay this tutorial is by far the most visited page on my website, why does this upset me? It upsets me because as glad as I am to see people using open source tools like OpenCV and MinGW rather than proprietary or commercial alternatives I feel strongly that developers should be using Linux not Windows for coding, especially for C++.
