Can't Build My Projects

[ColleenKobe]

I have a CodeLite workspace with two C-language projects, and one C++ wxWidgets GUI project. I use MinGW.

My builds have worked fine for years, but recently I did something terrible. I don't know what it was, but now CodeLite won't build, and I don't know how to fix it.

Last week, I started getting the following error messages when I tried to Rebuild the workspace:

I can see the g++ error messages all come from "ECHO is off." which is displayed when a batch file contains the command "echo off".

After the failed build, the file Background.txt contains:

Code: Select all

ECHO is off.

The file Behind_the_Scenes.txt contains:

Code: Select all

ECHO is off.

The file Main.txt contains:

Code: Select all

ECHO is off.

But I don't know why those files contain that text, and I don't know what's supposed to be there instead, or how to get whatever text is supposed to be in there, IN there.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling MinGW, wxWidgets, and CodeLite, and I still get these error messages.

Suggestions?

Thank you!

Never mind, I found the problems and fixed them.

In CodeLite, Settings, Environment Variables, I had:

Code: Select all

CodeLiteDir=C:\CodeLite
WXCFG=gcc_dll/mswud
WXWIN=c:\wxWidgets\

I changed them to:

Code: Select all

CodeLiteDir=C:\CodeLite
WXCFG=gcc_dll\mswud
WXWIN=c:\wxWidgets

(Changed the forward slash in WXCFG to a backward slash, AND
deleted the second backslash in WXWIN)

and now it builds normally.

I hope this helps someone else.
