CodeBlocks main.c has a lock

[mrfree]

Hello everyone, I have been trying to learn C with Codeblocks. Everytime I try to create a new project, the main.c file has a lock showing and I am unable to run or write to the simple hello world sample code. Could anyone shed some light

I am trying to create a program so I can save random contacts but I can't run or edit anything.

Below is the message for codeblocks when I try to run "hello world" example

This looks more like your main() simply does not do anything and simply returns. There is no error reported, so maybe you now need to learn about debugging. Starting with a simple printf or puts should help.

Thanks the main() comes standard when ever you open a new project. I gave up on codeblocks and just used nano then cc file.txt and ran as sudo and everything worked. I thought it was a permission problem but the hello world program wouldn't spawn a term either as sudo when tryed in codeblocks...

Thanks for the help Crivens

Glad I could be of help.

But you might really REALLY want to read up on sudo and what the naming conventions for files are.
