how to activate Jump to error/warning

[eb]

All of a sudden CodeBlocks no longer jumps the the proper file/line when I click the error in the message box.  How do i turn it back on?

[stahta01]

Make sure the program is done compiling.
Make sure you are in the "Build Messages" tab.

Those are the two causes that make it not work for me.

"View" -> "Perspective" controls the "Log & other" tabs that show up on start up.
Right clicking on an existing tab should give you options to toggle tabs that show up.

All of a sudden CodeBlocks no longer jumps the the proper file/line when I click the error in the message box.  How do i turn it back on?

If you have non-ascii characters or spaces in the filename (including the path), it can cause this, at least in older revisions.

[eb]

It's done compiling.  I'm on the 'Build Messages' window.  There are no spaces or special characters in the path.  It compiled fine with this setup for a couple of week.

[Jenna]

It has nothing to do with compiling.
Can you (copy and) post the relevant parts of the "Build log" and the "Build messages" tab ?

And please tell us which version of C::B, which OS and which compiler (and version) you use !

[eb]

I don't think it has anything to do with compiling either.  And I'm not sure if the logs help but here goes:

I re-installed Code Blocks (did not uninstall first).  Still doesn't work.  Is this a known bug?

It is not a known bug but how do you believe shall Windows guess on what path a Unix folder name resides?

If you look at the errors, they are in Unix format and you are on a Windows platform. Without tricks this cannot work. Use a native Windows compiler (not Cygwin) if possible and it will work.

[eb]

I have to use Cygwin because it is the Cygwin library that contains the clnt_create function that will be required to execute the BSD socket based RPC call to the server.
(I am also attempting this project using the Microsoft Services for Unix library but that is for another thread.)

Also Code Blocks seems to understand that "/usr/include/sys/types.h" is the same as "c:\cygwin\usr\include\sys\types.h" as I have my search directories set up properly.

[eb]

Another bit of info:
  It seems that when I open the file that contains the error Code Blocks places the marker (the red rectangle in the margin to the left) in the proper line, or in this case: there is only one error and code blocks places the marker whether I highlight the error message or not.

Also, I've made progrees regard the code itself so now my Build log looks like this:

But it still won't jump to the error...PLUS if you'll notice it ALSO it no longer tells me where the original definition of `struct netbuf' occurs.
