Codelite Can't Find Files when Building Project, but CAN when Building Workspace

Post by RexBlade6502 »

Codelite Experts,

Hopefully you can help. I have been using Codelite for about a year, I have it installed on 4 Windows 7/10 machines and over a network to a remote PC. But, all of a sudden one installation (my work computer) is having a problem.

When I Build PROJECT with the simplest Hello World program, the IDE can't seem to find the main.cpp file, even though its RIGHT THERE and I am looking at it in the folder. HOWEVER, if I build WORKSPACE then the IDE finds the file just fine, compiles, and builds the .exe.

I have installed this tool dozens of times over the last year, installed mingw, etc. setup the tool, all countless time, etc. this is really weird, happened after I hadn't played with the tool for a few weeks on the machine.

I tried uninstalling it, purging EVERYthing from windows folders and registry, and re-installing, rebooting. I have done the process 3 times now, and keeps doing the same thing. On my other 3 machines, it works as you would expect, I can build EITHER the Project or the Workspace (which only has one Project in this case) and it works fine on all other installation, which I have done them all the same way, and the only difference here is TIME went by, a few weeks since I fired it up.

It's driving me nuts. I have attached the two screen shots of the Project Build and the Workspace Build, and you can see the same file/path in one case the IDE can find it, but in the other it can't even though its right there and I am staring at the folder and file!

Attached screen shots for reference -- thanks in advance.

Can you upload the Makefiles generated by CodeLite? (the .mk files and the main Makefile at the workspace folder)

Make sure you have read the HOW TO POST thread
