DBS:
I use Code::blocks 10.05 on Win 7 Professional with gnu gcc cygwin 1.7.  Some errors are displayed like this: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before â€

I have fixed the code problem, but I am still unable to decode this message.  I have seen an earlier response to a similar question on this Forum, but it did not help to me.  What settings control the build messages encoding?

Many Thanks.

nightlight:
I am seeing the same problem. Did you manage to solve it?

oBFusCATed:
Have you checked your locale settings?
What is the output when you execute gcc/g++ from the command line/shell?

Jenna:
Don't forget cygwins locale settings, too.

The problem is for utf8 coded characters (fancy unicode quotes around error messages) produced by cygwin gcc. The text inside the quotes is OK (regular us-en). I couldn't find the character encoding for build log (there is one only for input files into editor). Here is an example of a gcc message output:

C:\C\exp\cyg\main.c||In function ‘ticks2’:|
C:\C\exp\cyg\main.c|19|warning: format ‘%X’ expects type ‘unsigned int’, but argument 2 has type ‘time_t’|
C:\C\exp\cyg\main.c|19|warning: format ‘%X’ expects type ‘unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘long int’|
C:\C\exp\cyg\main.c|19|warning: format ‘%X’ expects type ‘unsigned int’, but argument 2 has type ‘time_t’|
C:\C\exp\cyg\main.c|19|warning: format ‘%X’ expects type ‘unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘long int’|
||=== Build finished: 0 errors, 4 warnings ===|

As you can see only the unicode quotes (in utf8) were not understood by the CB Build log display. Compiling from command line in cygwin shell produces correct output:

C:/C/exp/cyg/main.c: In function `ticks2':
C:/C/exp/cyg/main.c:19: warning: format `%X' expects type `unsigned int', but argument 2 has type `time_t'
