Cygwin, Build simple project

I am trying to use the cygwin gcc compiler on the two source files I found on the web here http://www.linuxhowtos.org/C_C++/socket.htm.

The error message that I get is
"Execution of 'gcc.exe -c P:/Projects/client.c -o P:/Projects/client.o' in 'C:\Users\newhodl\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CodeBlocks' failed."

I want to use CodeBlocks for some very serious development.

Most likely solution, change the Toolchain to use the real exe instead of gcc.exe (which is a symlink).

Most likely a valid name is either gcc-4.exe or gcc-3.exe

Changing to either gcc-3.exe or gcc-4.exe changes the error message to "'g++.exe ...'"
Changing to the i686-pc-cygwin-gcc.exe files changes the error message similarly. 

stahta01:
Try creating the Code::Blocks project and working directory in a spot you have permissions to create and delete files without being the administrator.

This IS NOT a good location "C:\Users\newhodl\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\CodeBlocks" to use.

I made a console project and added my files to it.  When I try to Build I get the following error

"gcc.exe -Wall  -g     -c P:/Projects/ServerClientTest/server.c -o obj/Debug/server.o
Execution of 'gcc.exe -Wall  -g     -c P:/Projects/ServerClientTest/server.c -o obj/Debug/server.o' in 'P:\Projects\ServerClientTest' failed.
Nothing to be done."
