Cannot create output directory

[smallB]

I've tried create precompiled header but I'm getting error:
"Cannot create object output directory" - I'm logged in as an administrator, I run codeblocks as an administrator, I have plenty of space on my drive yet there seems to be no solution for this. What's the problem and how to solve it?

Hm, what is the full log? Does it work from the command line if you execute the same commands?

That's the full log and yes it does create precompiled header when run from command line:

Your output path does not look valid.
A double backslash normally points to a server on windows.

You should check the output filename in the "Build targets"-tab of your projects properties.

I've created this precompiled file using code::blocks svn 7500 - the 7452 reported the aforementioned errors. But now with this precompiled header in place I'm getting error:
.\Promote.h.gch|1|error: stray '\216' in program|. What 'tha' heck?

[smallB]

Guys, that's the unfortunate header file which either doesn't want to get precompiled (with cb 7452) or gets precompiled (with cb 7500) but gives error. Can someone try to precompile it and see if it works for you? Thanks

That is my output path - obj\Debug\Checking_if_operator_plus_works.exe (copied directly from cb) so everything looks ok, yet cannot make it working.

This is a link to full log. If you download it you'll see that at the very bottom of this log there is a msg saying that there are 28 errors. Yet NO ERROR IS LISTED ANYWHERE. What is going on?http://www.4shared.com/document/wNF2DXGk/Checking_if_operator_plus_work.html

has nothing to do with the output-path you give here:

That is my output path - obj\Debug\Checking_if_operator_plus_works.exe (copied directly from cb) so everything looks ok, yet cannot make it working.

the exe-names are different.

Your filesharing-site does not work on my linux-system (maybe I'm to restricted), so I can not look into your log.
Maybe you told C::B to ignore some compiler output ("Settings -> Compiler and debugger -> Other settings -> Compiler output to be ignored:")

As far as I could see, the precompiled header did not lead to an error-message, but:

C::B does not precompile, gcc/g++ does this.
Try a rebuild (with clean) the whole project.

Sorry for that, when I've posted this file it did work, now it doesn't even though I did nothing since my uploading. Anyway, check thishttp://pastebin.com/YFzXk6h5

@Jens the output path:bin\Debug\Promote.exe.
The previous path was indeed from a different project (I tried to precompile the Promote.h in a completely new project to use it in the other project (Checking_if_operator_plus_works.cbp)).
Anyway, there are no double backslashes anywhere to be seen.
Yes, I am aware that cb doesn't precompile anything

[oBFusCATed]

Does it build without pre-compilation? Does it build from the command line?
Have you tried to build simpler project with pre-compiled headers?

[Jenna]

As far as I see, it builds correctly, but the amount of errors makes me wonder.
There is no error as far as I know, but tons of warning.
Can you provide the html-file of the build-log ?

You can send it to me via PM.

If it really shows errors, instead of warning, we might have to fix the regexes, that parse the output.

@jens I don't know how to attach a file in here. Do you mind explaining? Thanks.
