Can't build project when build target type is set to GUI?
« on: July 31, 2013, 07:35:16 am »
Hi everyone. I'm working a project which just yesterday was working fine. But starting tonight, it wouldn't build when I click "Build" or "Build and run" I didn't think I had changed anything major, but I checked older/backup versions of the same project and none of them would build either. I noticed that if I set the build type to "Console application" that the project builds fine, but when I set it back to GUI, nothing happens. Clicking "Build and run" will simply have it say that the project hasn't been built and prompt me to do so, but clicking yes does nothing. Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search and was unable to find anything.

Is this what you meant by build log?
I do have some other projects that I build as GUIs that work fine, but this one and all the older versions of it I have don't, it's quite strange.

there you have... The program is build successfully (beside the 8 warnings).
Does the executable exists? If so, you have a problem in your code.

There is no exe at all, no. I wouldn't think there would be a problem with the code, as it was working fine just yesterday.

If the exe really does not exist in the shown folder, you should check your system's av- and other "security"-software.

Is Avast known to have problems with compiling projects? Building it as a console application will give an exe, as well as building other projects, so it would be really weird if Avast was causing a problem.

If not the av, then you have messed up your compiler. But if the console target works, it's probably the av.
And i think avast has changed the heueristik in the last update kast night...

The problem was in fact caused by Avast! Thank you both a whole bunch, this was driving me crazy!
