I am trying to compile the default Hello World on Code Blocks with the GNU GCC compiler but am getting the result of
cannot find -lbgi
It would be really helpful because right now I can't do a single thing!
Earlier I tried to use graphics.h and downloaded libbgi.a and I thought that was the problem so I deleted it. However, the compiler still produced the same error for the Hello World program, as well as previous programs that I made with C. From these information I guess that the problem is in the compiler but I cannot figure out what is causing it.
//c++ hello world program
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
return 0;
}
//c hello world program
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(){
printf("Hello world!\n");
return 0;
}
I expect Hello World to be the output.
however:
||=== Build: Debug in firstCppProject (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
ld.exe||cannot find -lbgi|
||error: ld returned 1 exit status|
||=== Build failed: 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 1 second(s)) ===|

You need to create a Console application (steps).
Currently you seem to be using a project created using a template with settings for Borland-compatible graphics (using a port of the old Turbo C++ "graphics" libraries), but you have deleted the libraries required to make that work.
Alternatively, you could remove the dependency on BGI from your project's linker settings.
