Running Win7, just installed the current version of Code::Blocks (mingw installer). I've been writing my source in Textpad and just compiling with mingw's msys environment for a while now since I got tired of Dev-C++. My problem is I have a project with a bunch of files that compiles fine with mingw, but I can't seem to get a Code::Blocks project started with all these files to actually compile. I tried adding them all and compiling, but after running mingw32-gcc.exe to build all the obj files, it tries to use mingw32-g++ and just stops. It shouldn't even need mingw32-g++ for this; mingw only used gcc.exe and windres.exe. The default compiler is set to GNU GCC Compiler. I tried setting it to use my original MakeFile, but it complained a that not having a "Debug target." It really shouldn't be this difficult to load up my existing project and make it compile.
mingw32-gcc.exe -Wall -g -c H:\Private\gsctoolz2k\c\RenegadeEX2-CB\tab_settings.c -o obj\Debug\tab_settings.o
mingw32-g++.exe -o "bin\Debug\Renegade EX2.exe" obj\Debug\lib_api.o obj\Debug\lib_api.o obj\Debug\lib_fileio.o obj\Debug\lib_listview.o obj\Debug\lib_memory.o obj\Debug\lib_misc.o obj\Debug\lib_rex.o obj\Debug\lib_search.o obj\Debug\rex.o obj\Debug\tab_hook.o obj\Debug\tab_results.o obj\Debug\tab_search.o obj\Debug\tab_settings.o obj\Debug\rex.res -lgdi32 -luser32 -lkernel32 -lcomctl32

(You can also change Code::Blocks to match your makefile; but, I find it easier to change the makefile to match CB)
Debug: $(NAME)
cleanDebug: clean
The other solution is to compile hello world from the wizard to verify your compiler and CB and setup correctly.
After that try to find what is the problem when what you are trying to do.
Edit: Spaces in EXE filenames is NOT a wise thing to do!
