using Devcpp4.9.9.2 can't run or debug

[omeganeu]

Hi every one
I am using windows vista (new user). I downloaded and installed devcpp-4.9.9.2(new user also) when I open the program I get : (There doesn't seem to be GNU Make file in path or in Dev-C++ Bin path. Please make sure that you have GNU make and adjust Bin setting or system PATH enviroment variable and that make setting in Compiler Options contains correct filename, otherwise you will not be able to compile anything) I tried the simple hello.cpp program I could not compile it (I could compile it only in the safe mode) and I could not run or debug it. I checked the directory where I installed the program there exist \bin\make.exe and also \bin\gdb.exe please can any one help me

Dev-C++ is ancient and doesn't even work right on Windows Vista (the older MinGW compiler that comes with it doesn't work either or is buggy), just get a different IDE and accompanying compiler. I'd suggest you pick up either Code::Blocks (make sure to download it with MinGW) or Visual C++ Express. I have more experience with C::B personally, but it's up to you really.

I downloaded codeBlocks (codeblocks-8.02mingw-setup.exe) and installed it but when I tried to build the program:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello World!\n");
getchar();
return 0;
}

it I get this error (Execution of 'mingw32-g++.exe -c C:\MyFolders\MyFiles\Cprogramming\hello.cpp -o C:\MyFolders\MyFiles\Cprogramming\hello.o' in 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CodeBlocks' failed. Nothing to be done.)
I do not know what's wrong do you?
