If you choose to install the Code::Blocks IDE without a MinGW compiler, a separate installation of the compiler will be required. The setup file for the Windows installation of Code::Blocks only provides a 32-bit GNU GCC compiler where having the ability to generate both 32-bit or 64-bit is preferable. You will see this demonstrated when we confirm our installation of TDM-GCC. As such, the compiler and the editor can be wholly separate and independent entities. Source code can be written using any plain text editor. Why are we discussing the TDM-GCC compiler suite first?Ī compiler is only interested in processing source code or program files. Code::Blocks is an Open-Source, cross-platform IDE that supports a number of programming languages and is ideally suited for both C and C++. Instructions for installing the TDM-GCC compiler suite is the topic of this post.Ī second post will soon follow that discusses installation of the Code::Blocks IDE. Almost every programming language requires the installation of a compiler and an editor or IDE (Interactive Development Environment) to accompany it.
