Hey siavosh,

Make sure you have already downloaded the correct binary program with Mingw if you are Windows.

For the console problem, it's a little glitch in detecting the program directory.
Go to Settings and click Compiler...
[You should be in "Global compiler settings"] Click the Toolchain executables tab
Next to the first box: "Compiler's installation directory" click the Auto-detect button It should now read: C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW or something along those lines.
Click OK and it should direct the program to the proper compiler directory

Hope that helps.
