   Code::Blocks
  This is the stupidest question i have ever asked, but i need someone to teach me how to get a compiler for my code::blocks. I have tried every compiler on the compilers list and they all throw up an error and write: "program name" uses an invalid compiler. skippingThat i think means i don't have any of the compilers. So maybe you can help me?thx in advance :)   
  Sorry to see you're still having problems.  Assuming you're on windows, you can easily install the g++ compiler along with Code::Blocks.  If you download and install codeblocks-8.02mingw-setup.exe from the Code::Blocks website, it should include the g++ compiler.  I remember when I did this everything just "worked."   ;  Actually, if you want to use Code::Blocks, which is perfectly fine, it is better to get mingw/g++ here. For some odd reason mingw ships with a pretty out of date version of g++. This distro provides a much newer release.   ;  thanks a million gazillion times guys. The problem was that i had downloaded the code::blocks version without the mingw compiler. Now i can finlly get back to programming. :DEDIT: Again too soon to cheer. Now i installed the mingw version and i have the compiler, but which name on the list is the mingw compiler;  Should be the first one that says "detected", the GCC one.
