FYI: We here have no idea why you will NOT post the information requested in the link posted twice for you.

Posting a full re-build log would likely help us to help you.

Hello, All ( and exclusively stahta01).

I am running Code::Blocks  ver. 12.11 Build: Nov 25 2012, 09:32:38 - wx2.8.12 (Windows, unicode - 32bit)
on WindowsXP Pro 2002 SP3. The compiler I use is MinGW ver. 4.7.1
(http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/codeblocks.berlios/codeblocks-12.11mingw-setup_user.exe)

When I build new project ( File -> New -> Project -> Win32 GUI project -> Dialog based -> ... -> Build) 
I see next
"-------------- Build: Debug in Dialog (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler)---------------

mingw32-g++.exe -Wall  -g     -c D:\pjx\CB\Dialog\main.cpp -o obj\Debug\main.o
windres.exe  -J rc -O coff -i D:\pjx\CB\Dialog\resource.rc -o obj\Debug\resource.res
windres.exe: can't popen `gcc -E -xc -DRC_INVOKED  D:\pjx\CB\Dialog\resource.rc': No such file or directory
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 6 seconds)
1 errors, 0 warnings (0 minutes, 6 seconds)
"
No additions, no deletions in any project files.

Frame based Win32 GUI projects built successfully.

With best wishes...

Works for me.


--- Code: ----------------- Build: Debug in TestWinGUI (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler)---------------

Your MinGW Compiler installation is likely missing "gcc.exe".

I am testing on Windows 7 32-bit and CB 12.11 using MinGW that came with  CB 12.11.

What I get on Windows 7 if gcc.exe does NOT exist.


--- Code: ---mingw32-g++.exe -Wall  -g     -c V:\SourceCode\CBProjects\TestProjects\TestWinGUI\main.cpp -o obj\Debug\main.o
windres.exe  -J rc -O coff -i V:\SOURCE~1\CBPROJ~1\TESTPR~1\TESTWI~2\resource.rc -o obj\Debug\resource.res
'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
windres.exe: preprocessing failed.

--- End code ---

For anymore help from me; I need your CB Tool chain setting value for Compiler Installation Directory.
My guess is it is NOT using the correct MinGW GCC.

PinkPanther:
Compiler settings -> Global compiler settings -> Toolchain executables -> Compiler's installation directory = D:\CodeBlocks\MinGW
If "D:\CodeBlocks\MinGW" is NOT correct MinGW GCC then what is more correct?
