- What Code::Blocks is not?
- What license is Code::Blocks released under?
- When will the next stable version of Code::Blocks be released?
- Is it possible to integrate the win32-help as in dev-cpp, to get help on the items under the caret?
Compiling (general)
- What compiler can I use with Code::Blocks?
- My project should be compiled with a custom makefile. Is it possible with Code::Blocks?
- I have downloaded MS VC++ Toolkit 2003 for a compiler. How do I tell Code::Blocks that it is my compiler?
- Microsoft calls MSVCRT.DLL a "Known DLL." How do I know if I can/should use it?
- How can I use a DLL without DEF or LIB files?
- Where are the libraries for the OpenGL, Ogre3D, SDL, QT, wxWidgets etc. projects?
- Is it possible to use Visual C++ 6.0 with Code::Blocks?
- I would like to compile a project using some non-standard libraries. How can I indicate to CodeBlocks that these libraries and include files exist?
- How do I use both Debug and Release builds of wx libraries?
- How do I add version information to windows executables and dll's?
- Code::Blocks does not force relink if the library is changed?
- How do I report a compilation problem on the forums?
- All of the Build related options are grayed out?
- I get a blank (black) terminal window on windows
- My program runs in codeblocks but if i start it from the outside it only flashes and closes immediately
Compiling (errors)
- How do I troubleshoot a compiler problem?
- What do I need to know when using 3rd party libs?
- My simple C++ program throws up lots of errors - what is going on?
- I imported a MSVCToolkit project/workspace, but Code::Blocks insists on trying to use GCC. What's wrong?
- When compiling a wxWidgets project, I get several "variable 'vtable for xxxx' can't be auto-imported". What's wrong?
- I can't compile a multithreaded app with VC Toolkit! Where are the libraries?
- I get this error when compiling: Symbol "isascii" was not found in "codeblocks.dll"
- My build fails with multiple undefined reference errors?
- My build fails in the compile/link/run step with a Permission denied error?
- My build fails to link due to multiple definition of xyz errors?
- How can I change the language of the compiler (gcc) output to English?
Settings
- How do I get Code Completion to work?
- How do I make Code::Blocks portable?
- Code::Blocks option xyz is missing?
- How do I change the default location of the output terminal?
Issues and Workarounds
- Sometime, in the text editor, space bar triggers Code Completion, how do I fix that?
- IDE is drawing the text from Right to Left?
- All the options in the debug menu are grayed out?
- My project works everywhere except one computer?
- Syntax highlighting is broken; how do I fix it?
- I posted on the forums that Code::Blocks was not working, but no one could help me?
