Stuck on "checking for existence" in Linux?

[LeoRoar77]

Hello fellow C::B users, I'm new here and Linux in general. I'm teaching myself obj-c programming and have a laptop with Ubuntu 11.4 on it. I installed CodeBlocks IDE and set it up with gcc. Here's the problem I'm currently having: if I compile on the command line with gcc, my obj-c code runs perfectly. I can open the .m file in C::B and run it with no problems but writing it from scratch in C::B and trying to build and run it, I get stuck at the pop-up asking me if I want to build the app. No matter how many times I click YES, the pop-up keeps appearing. I get no build log errors. So to summarize, command-line build = no problems, writing from scratch in C::B gets me stuck in an infinite loop of "do you want to build?".

Thanks for any help.

Just wanted to add, I created an empty project file and added my obj-c .m file from earlier and finally got an error line to show in build log:

-------------- Build: Debug in Program3-3 ---------------

Linking stage skipped (build target has no object files to link)
Nothing to be done.

I'm still stuck in the infinite loop of build messages. Thanks.

Hi oBFusCATed, I went to the link and did the steps it says but I don't have the "other options" tab.

It's called "Other settings" as stated in the FAQ.
It's the rightmost tab and you might have to click on the little black triangle in the top right to make it visible (at least on linux, on windows I can always see it).

Awesome, thanks, just found the option but I'm still stuck on the "build now" loop. The only message log for build is: checking for existence Program3-3

Try using re-build NOT build.
