Cách khắc phục lỗi source file not compiled năm 2024

If you're someone like me that rarely reads instructions when installing an application then you might definitely meet with the problem I got today and I want to tell you, this might come in handy 👍 .

Initially, I've been a DevC++ application fan and if I was doing anything C i.e the CS50 courses, I would definitely use DevC++ for my C programs. But today I got the error of Source file not compiled for the very first time, got all sweaty, and thanks to StackOverflow, I managed to get a solution which was installing CodeBlocks.

I just went right on to CodeBlocks, got the 1st .exe file I could find & installed(clicked Next, Next, finish) without reading through.

  • click on Environment Variables
  • Under System variables, click Path then Edit...
  • Browse for the C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin according to which drive you installed the application.

Now that your Environment variables are set, open your CodeBlocks application to setup my "GNU GCC Compiler" as shown below:-

I am really new to C++ so I can learn to make programs, games, etc. I tried to practice with a code in Dev-C++ and tried to run it. It gives me "Source File not compiled". I don't know if I'm doing this wrong in general since I tried to edit it in Notepad++ and it gives me an error as well, saying "The program or feature "filename" cannot start or run due to incompatibity with 64-bit windows".
