C::B 12.11 with w8

[Lqwertz80]

hello @ all,

I have change my PC and OS. With my old PC 64 bits an w7, C::B 12.11 with mingw compiler (gcc and g++) working good.
Now with w8 and same configuration of C::B and compiler, I have lot of problems.

- When I compile a new project c++, just one "hello world", this not compile. Error message in buid log is: as.exe has stopped working
- I reinstall mingw and the problem still there. I d'ont understant.

- When I take an old project (ok with w7) and make a little modification, the compilation is ok but I d'ont can execute this. Message is: nameExecutable.exe has stopped working.

Is the problem because I've w8? or because I must change the compile settings with this?

Thank you in advance

Win8 works fine with C::B and MinGW.

Make sure your access rights to the folders/files are correct and try to do a full rebuild (clean and build) !

Thanks,
But is not a problem with access right, I'm administrator.
I've try to clean and build but I've the same problem. I d'ont can build : as.exe stopped working....
What make as.exe?

as.exe is the assembler. GCC translates C or C++ into an intermediate code, which is then optimized and transformed into assembly language. The assembler turns that into exectuable binary code.

There's absolutely no reason why either Code::Blocks or MinGW shouldn't work under Windows 8 except that Windows 8 as such is a totally stupid step backwards in functionality as compared to Windows 7 (however, I tried in a virtual machine when Win8 PR was freely available, and that worked fine).

Post your "Build Log" NOT your "Build Messages"; I am betting on a folder permission error.

Ok, but what I can do?
I've now reinstall c::b and MinGw and the same problem is here.
I looking everywhere for one solution and I'm blocked.

You don't have a track?

Try to put your project in a folder no special characters, whitespaces, just the English alphabet...

Yes ok thank you!!!

This solves the problem for the build! Very good.
But it's strange with my old OS and old C::B version I don't have this problem....

By cons for the problem of executable, I've find I don't can recover my old workspace of my old C::b version.
I must make a new workspace!

thank you very much!

Now I can work!

Best regards
