- When your are ready to compile your project, click on Execute, then on Compile. This will launch the compiler and you will see a "Please wait while compiling" window. If you get no errors, you will see a message in the compiler output that says that your project was compiled successfully, and an executable file will be created in your project's directory. If you get errors, the compiler will give you the lines and the type of errors in the compiler output. The compiler output do not show the original compiler errors (they are parsed and changed for better understanding of the errors). You can still see the original compiler messages by clicking on "Show all compiler results" in the Compiling window.
For questions regarding errors, compilers problems, see the Mingw32 help file (Help\Gcc.hlp).
- If you want to execute your compiled project, click on Execute menu | Execute.
- If you want to debug your program, click on Execute menu | Debug. You will see a dialog box which will explain you how to debug. If you don't know how to use the GNU Debugger (GDB), click on the Help button to launch its help file. When you are ready to debug, click on OK.
