Title: Got an error at the last part of the "Creating a new project" tutorial.
Post by: CTMacUser on April 13, 2013, 08:42:55 am
I have a 32-bit Vista laptop that I upgraded to Windows 8.  I've downloaded C::B 12.11 w/ TDM-GCC 4.7.1.  I'm trying out the page at http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Creating_a_new_project (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Creating_a_new_project).  Everything works except the last part of the last section.  Compiling with the "Release Small" doesn't work.  I get:

I only guess is that the compiler and linker correspondences for the "small" settings have changed since the tutorial was written (or I typed something wrong).  Any ideas?...

It works for me on Windows 7 32 bit.

I am guessing a Windows 8 security gotcha as happen in Windows Vista.

Oops, duplicated the error. Some reason CB and MinGW is not working if there is a space in the path to MinGW.

Edit: This almost has to be a MinGW GCC error; not sure, likely TDM is the place to first report it.
(Could be bin tools instead of MinGW GCC)

Tim S.

This happens when I use a tool-chain path of "C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks_12_11\MinGW".
My prior test used the same version of MinGW without a space in the path.

Known bug remove lto (-flto) from both Compiler and Linker other options as work around.

Removing the "flto" options makes it work.  Thank you.
