Compiling?

[Mic_The_Forth]

I'm a total n00b when it comes to this stuff... I'm a total amature when it comes to this kinda coding so yeah... If someone could PLEASEEEEEEEEE tell me how to compile stuff and actually make things from it I'd be so greatful =]

1.) Learn C++.
2.) Study the source code a little.
3.) Check out the compiling tutorial in the Wiki.

I'm still stuck on the first step.

And, a link to the wiki page.

Well yeah I looked at that and I downloaded CodeBlocks... It's just I don't really know how to get started... If I had an example I could work from it (Which is what I normally do). So yeah... If anyone knows something good I can start on... Or tutor me on C++ That would be awesome

Then learn how to read the wiki compiling instructions Being able to compile is the first step to coding. Take care.

Actually, I was thinking understanding flowcharts and yes/no logic layouts would be the first step...wait, no, that's programming, as coding is a part of programming.

If you can't get it to compile all the flowcharts in the world aren't going to help haha. Take care.

Depends on the languages. Some, you don't compile, like perl or python. Then, it's about getting basic syntax and programming logic.
