Title: cannot find C:\MinGW\lib: Permission Denied
Post by: Atifhossain on March 07, 2013, 09:19:51 am

I downloaded Code Blocks  12.11 , then downloaded the MinGW compiler and also SFML. Then I moved the (SMFL) folder from (SMFL../include ) to (C:/MinGw/include) and also copied all the .a files from (SMFL../lib) to (MinGw/lib). I then compiled and ran a hello world project in Code::Blocks

The build message says :

cannot find C:\MinGW\lib: Permission Denied
What to do ?

Simple question, does the folder "C:\MinGW\lib" exist?
Can you open it when not using Code::Blocks?

What is the path inside Code::Blocks set to for the compiler toolchain?

What is the "message log" output in full compiler logging mode?

I moved the MinGW file from Local Disk (C) to Dekstop and changed the corresponding settings in Code Blocks. And yet the same result.
The Path Inside the Code Blocks is set as --   C:\Documents and Settings\HP\Desktop\MinGW  --.
I have no idea as to what do you mean by the second question.

Seems like RE-INSTALLING fixed the problem
