Building on Windows 7

Post by grizzie17 »

I'm trying to build the codelite_utils (as per the instructions) but I'm getting the following error. I have not been able to figure out the problem.

Code: Select all

copy Release\codelite_cppcheck.exe ..\..\Runtime\codelite_cppcheck.exe
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, copy Release\codelite_cppcheck.exe ..\..\Runtime\codelite_cppcheck.exe, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
I "think" that its tied to the mingw32 stuff, but according to the error message it looks like its invoking something in the normal Windows cmd shell.

Any pointers or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I might be related: I once had that, too. For me, it was related to the fact that most installations (including the compiler) are in a path with spaces. I also provided a patch for wx_config that allows to force quotation of path's. Then CodeLite compiled fine again...
