Codelite not building anything, build process never ends

[derkomai]

Hi!

New user here trying to dump Eclipse and jump into CodeLite. I've created a codelite project from CMake, but when I try to build it, nothing seems to happen. The little blue balls in the bottom of the screen keep moving and say the build is in progress, but there's no output nor error message, and it never ends. It works for a simple CMake C++ project, but not for the one I'm trying to build, which builds works OK on the console, so I'm scratching my head trying to find what's happening here. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Can you post here the .project file?

Some questions:

1. How do you build your project from the command line? (is it an out of source build?)
2. What happens when you run the exact sequence of commands from the terminal:

(replace $(WorkspacePath) with the _workspace_ path):

Code: Select all

cd $(WorkspacePath)
/usr/bin/make -j 8

Does it work?

Ok, so I have the following directory structure:

- codelite workspace:
-------- -codelite.workspace
-------- -project build directory

I'm building like: "make -j 8" from within the project build directory, which is located inside the codelite workspace directoy.

If I run "/usr/bin/make -j 8" from within the project directory, everything goes OK.

[eranif]

so you need to change the "Working directory" in the project settings->customize->custom build->working directory to the project folder

[derkomai]

I've just done that, but it does not seem to change anything.

Thanks for your help.

[eranif]

Do you get anything in the 'Trace' tab?

Is there a chance you can post the entire workspace + sources? so I could try it out here?

Thanks,
Eran

[derkomai]

Yes, when I click 'build' I get the following message in the trace tab: "09:37:03: Setting working directory to: /home/david/codelite" despite I've set the project working directoy to ' /home/david/codelite/bounceCube' (I still can see it in the custom build settings).

About the source, I'll ask If I can post it here.

[eranif]

You can send it to me directly without posting it on the forum ( contact me on PM )
