Can't use paths in build settings

[Absinthe]

I am using CodeLite 6 under windows 7 and I am attempting to use the MinGW compiler set.

If I add MinGW/bin to my windows path I can set all the tools to their bare names (e.g. g++.exe, gcc.exe, ld.exe etc.) it works fine

However, if I leave then with paths (e.g c:\MinGW\bin\g++.exe , C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe, C:\MinGW\bin\ld.exe etc.) then the build says that
it can't find CMinGWbing++ or something like that. It also suggests that the message is coming from /bin/sh which I am not sure where it is getting that, as my ComSpec is cmd.exe.

Currently, I am working around the issue with the path thing, but eventually I want to be able to detect and change these tool chains.

Suggestions?

This will be fixed out of the box in codelite 6.1

For now, do this, from the main menu:
Settings->Build Settings->Compilers-><Your Compiler>->Tools
Under the "MAKE" tool, add this:

Code: Select all

SHELL=CMD.EXE

For example, if your MAKE tool is set to:

Code: Select all

C:/MinGW-4.8.1/bin/mingw32-make.exe -j8 

It should now be set to:

Code: Select all

C:/MinGW-4.8.1/bin/mingw32-make.exe -j8 SHELL=cmd.exe 

This will fix this.

The reason for this, is because you have somewhere in your path sh.exe, and mingw32-make is trying to use it
