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! Hello, if you take a closer look at the codeblocks download webpage, it offers 2 versions of the download, with or without a compiler... If you want to install the compiler separately (probably a bit more complicated), head over to https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php . -- Marc Glisse
