Answer 1

Create a folder in the folder where you installed free image, like this

Below is a codeblocks project file. Copy and paste this into a file with the extension .cbp in the folder you created

Open the project file in codeblocks

Build

<CodeBlocks_project_file>
    <FileVersion major="1" minor="6" />
