Can't create a project
« on: October 28, 2009, 10:23:44 pm »
I am having trouble creating a project.
It is my first time using code blocks and when I try to create one it says it can't save it and it also says "maybe the file is write-protected?"
Does anyone know what is wrong. Thanks.

Please spell out exactly what you are doing to create the project. For example, your reply should look something like this:

- I start CB
- I choose New from the File menu
- I chose Project...

and so on until you get to the point that you get the error message.

Also, The Code::Blocks Version/SVN info needed; along with the Operating System info.

When in doubt, read the CB WiKi FAQ. http://wiki.codeblocks.org

And make sure you have write access to the directory you want to place the project in.
EDIT:
... and that no file named as the project exists in this directory, C::B tries to create a subdirectory with the projectname (if you don't change any settings in the wizard) and this cannot work in this case.
