Codelite failed to clean project in windows 7 32 bit.

[rajin100000]

When I clean a project, there are two errors:-

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C D:/IDE/CodeBlocks/MinGW/bin/mingw32-make.exe -j4 SHELL=cmd.exe -e -f  Makefile clean
"----------Cleaning project:[ Helloworld - Debug ]----------"
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/User/Desktop/CPPworkspace/Helloworld'
rm -f -r ../build-Debug/Helloworld
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, rm -f -r ../build-Debug/Helloworld, ...) failed.

mingw32-make.exe: *** [Makefile:8: clean] Error 2
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Users/User/Desktop/CPPworkspace/Helloworld'
====0 errors, 0 warnings====

What to do now?

It seems that it can not find rm utility which is strange, given that it comes with CodeLite...
I wonder if it is a 64 vs 32 bit issue.

You can install MSYS2, and add its /usr/bin/ path to your PATH.
For example, if I would install MSYS2 under:

C:\msys64

Then inside CodeLite, go to:

settings -> environment variables
and add:

Code: Select all

PATH=C:\msys64\usr\bin;$PATH

then, try to build again

I'm using 32-bit Windows 7, How can I download MSYS2? I think I need to download git bash/Cygwin for this. Because they have 32-bit versions. But I don't know which path to add to them. Btw, codelite 12 is the latest version that can use this command without requiring any other tools. And do I need to put a semicolon after Codelite path?

Hey, thanks! It worked! I just put my usr/bin folder of git-bash in the Codelite environment variables. And It worked nicely. However, the "press any key to continue" is not going to the next line. Instead, it is in the same line where I'm in. And for some reason, it is making the executable file in debug folder (project directory), but the previous time, it was making the executable file in a build-debug folder in the workspace directory.
