Problems building a project in Windows XP

Post by beto »

Hello, i can't build any project after a CodeLite fresh install, not even the "Hello World" example that comes with a "Simple executable (gcc)" project.
I have tried with the Linux version and I haven't had any problem doing the same things.

I'm using the version codelite-2.5.2.4031-mingw4.4.1-wx2.8.10.exe on Windows XP

When i try to build a project i recieve this message:

----------Build Started--------
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ""mingw32-make.exe" -j 2 -f "WS_wsp.mk""
----------Building project:[ hello - Debug ]----------
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Entering directory `C:/Program files/CodeLite/WS'
<built-in>:0: fatal error: opening dependency file ./Debug/main.o.d:
No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
mingw32-make.exe[1]: *** [Debug/main.o.d] Error 1
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `C:/Program files/CodeLite/WS'
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 2
----------Build Ended----------
0 errors, 0 warnings

Any idea? Thanks for your help.

Did you modify any of the environment variables from within codelite (from settings -> environment variables)?
Do you have write permissions to the C:\Program Files\CodeLite\WS?
Can you manually go the C:\Program Files\CodeLite\WS directory and make sure that there is a directory named Debug under it? If the directory does not exist, it may suggests that you got permission error

Hi Eran, thanks for your answer.
Aking your questions:
I haven't modified any of the environment variables, this is what i have when i go to settings -> environment variables

CodeLiteDir=C:\Program files\CodeLite
WXWIN=C:\wxWidgets-2.8.10
PATH=$(WXWIN)\lib\gcc_dll;$(PATH)
WXCFG=gcc_dll\mswu
UNIT_TEST_PP_SRC_DIR=C:\UnitTest++-1.3

I didn't have write permissions to the C:\Program Files\CodeLite\WS , but i changed and now i have it.
In the C:\Program Files\CodeLite\WS directory I had created the directory Debug, but it hadn't write permissions, but i changed that.

I still can't build any project. Any other idea?
Thanks for your help.

You should not. codelite should create it for you. If it cant, it means that there still a problem.

Try to create a new project under another directory and try to build it, does it work?

Hi Eran, thanks a lot for your help, finally was what you said, a permission problem. I'll be using Codelite for teach C++ programing, the computers' admin didn't tell me about a software that they have for freeze the windows instalations, only tell me after i asked several times about permisions to create directories and the default configuration of the workstations. Thank you very much for your help to find the origin of the problem.
