In order to compile .cpp files, you need to have MinGW installed and configured

how do I configure MiniGW? I've installed it already. :?

Make sure that you have the correct MinGW version... Plus you may also need to set an environment variable, add the installation folder to your windows PATH, and reboot.

For some discussions about the MinGW install and settings, see this thread: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=95892

I have now configured mingw but keep getting this when compiling.

Unable to create temporary directory

Did you by any chance install to "c:\program files" ?

If so, that folder has special access permissions, where the windows user access controls prevent the creation of files/folders after install time. For that reason, the blitzmax installer defaults to c:\blitzmax.

If you DID install to the program files folder, there are three workarounds, eitehr of which should fix it:
1) Disable windows UAC
2) reinstall blitzmax to c:\blitzmax
3) Manually change the permissions of the blitzmax install folder to remove the restrictions

Compile Error: Can't find interface for module 'blitz3d.blitz3dsdk'

This piece of code has a dependency on the blitz3d.mod module -- do you have it installed on your system? ( it would be under blitzmax\mods\blitz3d.mod )
If not, then that's the problem.
If you DO have it there, then you will need to (re)compile the module for it to be found & recognized.
In the IDE, go to: program menu -> build modules

If the problem persists, try the 'build all modules' option.
