 i switch from windows 10 to ubuntu recently and installed codeblocks using ubuntu software center assuming without mingw. i downloaded mingw separately  but it seems codeblocks cant find and use it.

MinGW is a windows port of GCC, it has no meaning in Linux. You must install build-essential:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt install build-essential
