help with first C::B project!

stahta01:
I think you need to find all the documentation about the prior build system.
(it is not obvious if you know what the prior build system was. You implied Slick Edit and Code::Blocks; then later implied neither was the build system used.)
Then, read the documentation and ask questions in a site that supports that past build system.

I have not yet seen any Code::Blocks related questions.

When, you find out enough to ask Code::Blocks questions then feel free to ask in this thread.

Note, the size change could be that the prior person build a debug version of the program.

The message you gave implies you are NOT supplying a needed external file, "MyXMLfile.xml", to the program where it is looking for it.

Edit: Added what I consider build system/tools (Things that create Makefile and etc. and things that uses Makefile and etc. to create file object/executable code.)

That would be my guess, too. You probably don't realise that your are starting the application from inside C::B in a specific folder, usually where the project file is. You can adjust it in the project properties or provide a full path to the file.

However, I think your application is quite buggy if it "handles" operating non-existent (or non-accessible) XML files with a crash. So you should start using the debugger, but here you are on your own. Place a breakpoint and see step-by-step what exactly is happening.

I can't help you more than that. Sorry.
