I'm trying to build and run this code 

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

main()
{
textcolor(RED); 
cprintf("Hello, World!");

getch();
return 0;
}

I use code blocks - gcc compiler.As GCC doesn't support conio.h , i'm getting a lot of errors.I want to add a library which is needed for running this kind of programs. Being instructed by a blog I downloaded conio21 from this link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/conio/ but I can't find the libconio.a there.Can you please explain how to add the library?

Functions like textcolor used to work in old compilers, you can't use them in new compilers like GNU GCC used by Code::Blocks.

To see how to change textcolor, this link might be able to help you:
