In this instance, I want to get the tutorial titled “A simple button” working.
Step 1) Start the Code::block IDE
Step 2) Select File=>New=>Project
Step 3) Click on the “Empty Project” icon and click next a couple of times till you are asked for a project file name.
(Note! one of the things that confused me initially was that when you enter a “project title” the file name and directory are also automatically created using the same name. It took a little time for me to get used to that)
Step 4) Use Shift+Ctrl+N to add blank files. I named the file and the pasted the info from the web site.
