 '''A:''' Try building the project from command line. If the same error comes up, it is a problem with either the source file, the compiler, or the compiler setup. If this is the case, you are unlikely to receive support for it on the Code::Blocks forums, however, [[FAQ-Compiling (errors)#Q: How do I troubleshoot a compiler problem?|How do I troubleshoot a compiler problem?]] may help.
-If it works fine building from command line, it is either a problem with your project, Code::Blocks' setup, or possibly an actual bug. When posting this problem, include the name of your compiler, operating system, Code::Blocks version, compiler log (go to ''Settings->Compiler and debugger...->Build options (tab)'' and check ''Save build log'' and ''Always output the full command line''), and, if it caused Code::Blocks to crash, the <tt>codeblocks.RPT</tt> file (located in the Code::Blocks installation directory).

On MSW you can open the config directory pressing Windows+R and writing "%appdata%\CodeBlocks" in the edit box.

Codeblocks adds a convinient layer and keeps the console open until you press a key. You can add this to your program with the following lines of code in c++:

 '''A:''' Your Anti Virus is blocking your executable. Modern Anti Virus (AV) programs use heuristics to determine if a program is a virus or not. Often this gives false positives and your AV will block your self created applications. [[Solution:]] Deactivate your AV, or for the paranoid: add your project folder, gcc folder and probably also the c::b folder to the AV exception.
