Problems debugging in CodeLite

[abarreto93]

Hey everyone.
I just recently started a class in C++ earlier this semester. I downloaded CodeLite so I could compile and run my programs. It downloaded and installed perfectly, So to test it out I took a simple program from my textbook that looks like this:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   cout << "Programming is ";
   cout << "great fun!";
   return 0;
} 

I clicked the debug button, but nothing happened. Also tried F5, but still nothing. No errors, no actual build.

If someone could help with this that'd be great. I have programs to write for class

The code looks fine. Let me guess and ask that you try this:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   cout << "Programming is ";
   cout << "great fun!";
   system("PAUSE");  //maybe the console opens and closes too fast to see that it worked...
   return 0;
}

Still nothing. I also tried using Dev C++ but when I try installing it, it gives me an error saying it can't initialize the plug ins directory. Very frustrating.

Also VS express, whenever I try to open a new project, it says it cant find a file.
