This will install the application on your computer and you will be able to run it and create projects. The above if up to date, will skip over the installation and tell you that you already have the latest packages installed. Start by checking that your gcc is up to date. You might not need to but it is always good to run the install as it will update your gcc if it needs to. I was not aware, I’ve never actually compiled code on linux before. Code Blocks would also generate errors in regards to stdio.h and that it couldn’t find the file. After further reading the solution is part of the normal compiler/code blocks installation. What was happening is that when I included printf() and scanf() in my simple terminal application it wouldn’t compile or run, the compiler complained about an assumed reference. So I went ahead and opted to install Code::Blocks on my Linux Mint 17.2 laptop.Īfter much searching I came across an obscure reference in a forum post to the problem. I had the option to opt in and run the application on a Windows lab machine, but I said nah, I want to expose myself more to the linux environment and I want to be able to use my own laptop. Recently I ran into a problem finding a solution for properly installing Code::Blocks on a Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon machine.
