I downloaded CodeBlock and need a compiler to make it work. All searches keep coming back to you and even after studying and trying your site for 3 hours, I cannot figure out how to get a compiler. > I'n on a Windows 10 PC and need a C++ 14 or 17 (17 would be better) compiler. DO you have a link directly t the download and simple instructions on how to install it? Remember - a mainframe programmer with very limited PC development! > Roy Ware Except on Linux where distributions provide pre-built binaries the usual way to get GCC is to build it from sources. Binaries for some systems can be downloaded from a few unofficial places: https://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html On Windows, installing Cygwin or MinGW will get you GCC as well. Martin
