g++.exe: fatal error: no input files

Hi,

I've just installed CodeLite 7.0 Beta on a Windows 7 x64 machine and I attempted to create a simple test project using the project wizard. The main.cpp files successfully compiles to main.c.o but afterward, the link step fails with the following error:

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "D:/MinGW/bin/make.exe -j4 SHELL=cmd.exe  -e -f  Makefile"
"----------Building project:[ Test - Debug ]----------"
make.exe[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/pmjobin/Workspace/Test'
D:/MinGW/bin/g++.exe  -o ./Debug/Test @"Test.txt" -L.
g++.exe: error: @Test.txt -L.: No such file or directory
g++.exe: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
make.exe[1]: *** [Debug/Test] Error 1
Test.mk:79: recipe for target 'Debug/Test' failed
make.exe[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Users/pmjobin/Workspace/Test'
make.exe: *** [All] Error 2
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'All' failed
1 errors, 0 warnings

Strangely enough, if I manually run the line "D:/MinGW/bin/g++.exe -o ./Debug/Test @"Test.txt" -L." in a console window, it works just as expected.

Thanks,
PM

Can you please and run the exact command as codelite from a terminal ?, i.e.:

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "D:/MinGW/bin/make.exe -j4 SHELL=cmd.exe  -e -f  Makefile"

Thanks,

Hi,

Here is the output of building a project freshly created with the "Simple executable (g++)" wizard by using the build command you specified in a command line prompt:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\pmjobin\Workspace\Test>C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "D:/MinGW/bin/mak

make.exe[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Users/pmjobin/Workspace/Test'
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'All' failed
make.exe: *** [All] Error 2

I then added the makedir.exe program provided with CodeLite to the path and ran the build command again:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\pmjobin\Workspace\Test>C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "D:/MinGW/bin/mak

make.exe: *** [All] Error 2

I noticed that compiling the Test.cpp file manually by using the context menu in the workspace view works. If I attempt to launch the build command again from this point, here is what I get:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\pmjobin\Workspace\Test>C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "D:/MinGW/bin/mak
e.exe -j4 SHELL=cmd.exe  -e -f  Makefile"

make.exe[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/pmjobin/Workspace/Test'
D:/MinGW/bin/g++.exe  -o ./Debug/Test @"Test.txt" -L.

Hope this helps!

2 things that seems strange to me here:
- codelite is running 'make.exe' and not 'mingw32-make', is it a self installed MinGW?
- Even though that codelite passed 'SHELL=CMD.EXE' in the build line, your make still searches for /bin/sh - this again seems to me that you are using the wrong make tool

Try replacing the make.exe with mingw32-make.exe

I use a self-installed MinGW indeed. The make.exe is simply an exact copy of the mingw32-make.exe I made to please some autoconf scripts that were looking for make. I deleted it and cleared CodeLite's config in my user profile and now, CodeLite uses mingw32-make as expected. As for sh.exe (bash) in my path, renaming it to sh.exe.bak seems to have corrected the issue as I can now build the project successfully. I do need sh.exe in my system path, however. Is there a way to circumvent this issue in CodeLite? I am asking because a previous version of CodeLite (5.3) used to work with this setup.

Your make should have honoured the SHELL=CMD.EXE that codelite passes, if it does not, then you should upgrade your make.exe or use the one that comes with codelite

Using the make bundled with CodeLite, I can have sh.exe in my path and have no problem anymore.

Thank you!
