Strange Syntax Error Using MIPS Compiler

(1/2) > >>

Authentic:
Recently I installed Code::Blocks and everything worked with the mingw compiler. But after following this guide (to the letter) I find myself unable to build even the simplest valid C programs: https://github.com/glankk/n64. The error is always the same:


--- Code: ---||=== Build: Debug in test (compiler: n64) ===|
c:\msys64\opt\n64-toolchain\bin\..\lib\gcc\mips64\7.2.0\..\..\..\..\mips64\bin\ld.exe:--defsym|1|syntax error|
||error: ld returned 1 exit status|
||=== Build failed: 2 error(s), 0 warning(s) (0 minute(s), 0 second(s)) ===|
--- End code ---

I am using Code::Blocks 16.01, and here is an example of a c file that won't build:


--- Code: ---int main() {
    return 0;
}
--- End code ---

I don't want to waste anyone's time if this is a simple problem, but I really cannot find a solution. Do I need to rebuild the compiler?

stahta01:
Post a full rebuild log of your simple program and post the simple program.

I am trying to build the n64 compiler, right now. But, I have a slow internet connection and a slow computer.

Likely something changed in the Compiler or Code::Blocks (CB) that requires the CB settings to be changed.

stahta01:
While waiting for the downloads to finish, I am guessing n64.conf is not correct and needs edited to fix this error.

NOTE: It looks like this git project expects an CB "Custom makefile" project instead of a normal CB project like you are trying to use.

But, till you post the requested full build log I will not know what you are trying to use for certain.

Thank you for responding! I am going to start rebuilding the compiler now to see if that works. Here is the build log:


--- Code: ---Build started on: 20-10-2017 at 12:53.57

stahta01:
Try putting "n64-master" in a place that does NOT have spaces or special chars in the path.

Please post a full re-build log if you still have problems.

Re-build does not mean build.

Edited: added my re-build log; minus the clean portain.
