Use an environment variable for Codelite development paths

Do you have msys installed? If so, this might help:

I had trouble with the -IC:\wxWidgets... flag until I added SHELL=cmd to my environment variables. It seems that "make" will try to use "sh" to execute commands unless you override it by setting SHELL. And sh doesn't like backslashes as path separators. That's why g++ can't find the header files.

Thank you for the comment; it might be applicable in my case.

Is that SHELL= the WinXP cmd.exe??
---- edit --

defining
SHELL=cmd.exe
resolved this problem for me..

I will make it a part of my defaults.

I have now re-installed CL, repeated the creation of the wxWidget GUI test app and I get the same error; but when I define SHELL=cmd.exeit all works as advertised

You should really mention that you are using MSYS next time...

Yes. I just set SHELL to "cmd" (no .exe needed) in CL's Environment Variables.

I was unaware that I was using MSYS;
it has been installed some time ago for use with Eclipse IIRC, but I certainly did not use it intentionally.

I know, thats the problem when using eclipse

FWIW, the reason I went looking for alternatives was Eclipse

and found Codelite

But seriously, if this is a problem, is there a way to check for it at installation time or perhaps simply set the SHELL environment variable by default?

[eranif]

To tell you the truth, I wasnt even aware of this environment variable until Scott point it out... so this one is new for me like for you
