Title: Building Error
Post by: Jeman on May 27, 2012, 01:29:05 am

So I used the default script:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
    return 0;
}

I click the Build button which looks like a gear and on the log i get this error:
-------------- Build: Debug in Tutorial 1 ---------------

Compiling: main.cpp
Execution of 'mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -fexceptions  -g     -c "C:\Users\Jordan\Desktop\C++ Stuffs\Tutorials\Tutorial 1\main.cpp" -o obj\Debug\main.o' in 'C:\Users\Jordan\Desktop\C++ Stuffs\Tutorials\Tutorial 1' failed.
Nothing to be done.

It is a Console Application.
On C++.
With the GNU GCC Compiler
Solutions? ???

Do you have a compiler installed (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_a_supported_compiler)?

Do you have a C++ Compiler Installed?
In this case, it is looking for "mingw32-g++.exe" as the C++ Compiler executable.

Well i downloaded codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe from the binaries section and it is supposed to install the compiler.

I have no idea; if the user can turn off the installing of the C++ Compiler.
I would confirm the C++ Compiler was installed!

After that, I would turn on Full Compiler Logging.

I followed those instructions and this is all i get in the Build Log
-------------- Build: Debug in LOLOL ---------------

mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -fexceptions  -g     -c "C:\Users\Jordan\Desktop\C++ Stuffs\Tutorials\LOLOL\main.cpp" -o obj\Debug\main.o

So you confirmed the exe existed; what folder was the exe inside of?

What folder is the Code::Blocks toolchain set to use?
(Also called the Compiler's Installation Directory)
seen via "Settings->Compiler and Debugger->Global Compiler settings->Toolchain executables"

C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW

You MUST CONFIRM that the file mingw32-g++.exe exists inside the folder "C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin".
Does it exist?

What is needed to be done to test the command issued by CB works on the command line.
Open the CMD.exe command window and enter the below lines one at a time.
NOTE: You can skip the line(s) starting with REM.

Code

REM Set path to what CB uses
SET PATH=C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin;%PATH%

REM Directory to what CB used
CD /D "C:\Users\Jordan\Desktop\C++ Stuffs\Tutorials\LOLOL"

REM Command used by CB
mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -fexceptions -g -c "C:\Users\Jordan\Desktop\C++ Stuffs\Tutorials\LOLOL\main.cpp" -o obj\Debug\main.o
