Question about Geany.

[infiter789]

Hello, Im starting the fantastic world of C/C++.
I installed Geany to be my main IDE.
But I dont know how to configure it. Anyone knows?
I need to configure it basically to practice the firsts exercises.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forums.

What do you want to configure exactly? Do you have the necessary packages installed for compiling C and C++ programs? Install the package build-essential if you haven't already done so.

sudo apt-get install build-essential
See the sticky topics in this forum (at the top) for more info.

You can find more information on Geany, including a manual, on its website: http://www.geany.org/

I want to compile... I put "new C++ source file" when I do the source code, I cant compile.
I already have the build-essential.

What errors do you get? Please copy and paste it here.

Ok.
I open Geany.
I do the source code.
When I click on build > compile is in "blank". I mean, i cannot click it.
Maybe the C source file commands are wrong, and I dont know how to configure it.
Or maybe is another thing.

You need to save before building.
