I am learning how to code c and I was copying a 7 line program and when I hit build, nothing happened. There are no errors that pop up and no indication that its doing any thing at all. I did this several times with a min in between. Please help.
Do you have a project?
Have you installed a compiler?
Have you inspected the logs in the log & others panel?
There are no notes at all. And I am pretty sure I do but it keeps on saying its failing.

Post the build log here.

the black box does show up if I hit the play button it says "this has not been built yet would you like to build it?" if i hit no the black box will pops up.I have not built in the program at all.
its not showing me build log in the other settings tab
There should be written someting in the "Build Messages" tab
If you can't find a tab with "Build Messages" at the bottom of codeblocks try these steps:
Look if you have checked View->Logs so that you can see the log window
In the "log & others" window make a right klick on a tab and look if Toggle->Build Messages is checked
If so, then follow the instructions written here: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28general%29#Q:_How_do_I_report_a_compilation_problem_on_the_forums.3F
[PS:] Is there a yellow pop up window if you start codeblocks where it is written that a compiler is missing? What operating system are you using?
