This tutorial explains how to install Codeblocks on your local environment or PC with Windows, Mac, or on Linux.
- Your question title is asking about compilers, yet you were actually interested in IDE (Integrated Development Environment). I will just assume you actually meant IDE. If you are on Mac, Xcode is generally not a bad choice as it is able to handle.
- Mac OS X; NOTE: For older OS'es use. The codeblocks-20.03mingw-setup.exe file includes additionally the GCC/G/GFortran compiler and GDB debugger from MinGW-W64 project (version 8.1.0, 32/64 bit. Code::Blocks 20.03 for Mac is currently not available due to issues caused by Apple hardening their install packages and lack of Mac.
- Xcode, including compilers, is on your Mac OS X installation DVD. You can install it from the DVD, or else download it for free from Apple's developer website or for a small fee (where I.

This tutorial explains how to install Codeblocks on your local environment or PC with Windows, Mac, or on Linux.
CodeBlocks is a cross-platform, open-source, free IDE that supports GCC, Visual C++, and Clang compilers. Codeblocks was developed in C++ using wxWidgets for Windows and Linux as the GUI toolkit. It is oriented towards C, C++, and Fortran with custom build system support.
Install CodeBlocks IDE on Windows
- Visit codeblocks.org. Click Download from the menu, then click on download the binary release.
- Go to your operating platform section (e.g., Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8.x / 10), then download the installer with GCC Compiler, e.g., codeblocks-17.12mingw-setup.exe or Click here to download.
- Double-click to run the downloaded installer and click Next on the pop-up window. Now click on “I Agree” to accept the license agreement.

- Wait for a minute for installation to complete. A new pop-up asks you to run Codeblocks. Click YES, and then it shows the compiler Codeblocks detected. Click OK.
- Now we have installed Codeblocks on windows.
We need to verify the Compiler and Debugger path (this step is optional).
- Go to menu options and click on Settings >> Compiler. In the selected compiler, by default, it shows GNU GCC Compiler. Now select the “Toolchain Executables” tab from the below tabs and check the Compiler’s Installation Directory is set to “
C:Program FilescodeblocksMinGW
. - Similarly, for debugger path: Settings >> Debugger >> GDB/CDB debugger >> Default. In Executable, the path should be
C:Program FilescodeblocksMinGWbingdb.exe
orC:MinGWbingdb.exe
if you have installed MinGW compiler before installing Codeblocks.
Note: If you encountered problems running the debugger with CodeBlocks, do a clean installation. Uninstall Codeblocks and then first install MinGW and then install Codeblocks.
