I dont know how formiliar any of you guys are with code blocks, a C++ coding program. I have down loaded the 10.05 version of Code Blocks on my machine, and when ever i try to "build and compile" nothing happens.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I just can't get a Compiler to work with XCode. I have downloaded the exact command line tools from the Developer site for XCode 4.6 and under the Mac OS X Lion OS but still having problems with the compiler.
"I just can't get a compiler to work" is not a question, and doesn't have anything to do with the original poster's topic. You will have better luck starting your own topic, and include details such as your development environment, exactly what it is you are trying to do, and what you have tried.
To get the gcc compiler and many other tools, you have to register (no charge) as an Apple developer and swear that you will not export the tools.
The wxWidgets thing? Why on earth would you want that?
Code blocks isnt a widget thing

Is it something other than this: http://www.codeblocks.org ?
Because that is a wxWidgets thing.
Oh. i just need some thing to create, build and run C/C++ files, with out having to search high and low for a GCC compiler
Apple's development environment is better than that thing. Don't install that until you give Apple's environment a good look-over.

Just download Xcode then.
However, Apple has deprecated the GCC compiler. I think it still ships with version 4.2, but any new development shoudl use Clang instead. Imagine GCC but with really good error messages.
If you don't want to install GCC without downloading Xcode, take a look at Kenneth Reitz's GCC installer for Mac OS X.

That's a cool project. But the author actually suggests downloading Apple's Command Line tools instead: http://www.kennethreitz.com/xcode-gcc-and-homebrew.html
Apparently, you can install only the command line tools and not the rest of Xcode. I didn't know you could do that. I've got the full Xcode. I left a suggestion on the web site that he build a package for the latest version of GCC instead.
How do i obtain the compilers for Code Blocks? (OSX Lion)
