CodeLite 14 hangs on launch after Visual Studio Installation

[BeijingCowboy]

CodeLite 14.0.0
iMac Pro Processor 2.3GHz, 18-Core Intel Xeon W
Memory 128GB 2666 MHz DDR4
Graphics Radeon Pro9 Vega 64 16GB
OS Catalina 10.15.4

Used for several months without problems for an Online C++ class.

This weekend I installed MS Visual Studio for Mac. (don't know if it's relevant, but it's the only change to the computer)

After Installation of MSVS, when trying to run Codelite, it would immediately hang. (The Menu Bar could be seen at the top, and a spinning load disc above the bar. But after clicking on another application the CodeLite Bar could not be seen again, nor the spinning disc.)

I tried to resolve this problem by rebooting, then deleting the CodeLite app and deleting the corresponding directory.

Upon reinstalling CodeLite, the program would load and ask me basic setup questions, for example did I want to use the C++ editor, and Choose CLANG or GCC. (I tried selecting GCC in first reinstall and CLANG on a second).

When I click the button to finish the installation the Load Disc begins to spin, however it never stops. The program just hangs on that screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Try:

Close CodeLite
Delete the folder:

Code: Select all

~/Library/Application Support/codelite

Start CodeLite

CodeLite should now ask you again the basic questions, however, it should avoid doing this on the next restart

Thanks so much eranif! It was a frustrating week, and it feels good to be back on track!
