CodeLite IDE

Codelite rev. 4778; WinXP;

After installing Codelite I followed the online examples for "Hello World" and also recreated the "Creating a wxWidgets GUI App" video step by step pausing frequently to make sure I was doing everything correctly. When I ran both programs I got the same "console" window (see attached). I did not get the window that showed in the video with an exit menu. It seems I can only get console windows when I build my projects. When I closed each window I got a "Program exited with return code: -1073741510" when clicking the close box in the upper right corner and "Program exited with return code: 2293508" when pressing any key to exit.
When I built the programs the compiler output some error messages but they went by so quickly I could not read them. All I was able to see was "Build Ended Successfully." I was not able to scroll the output to read what it said.

Can anyone help me with these problems?

Also how do I generate an .exe file for my projects? I tried to debug my programs but there was no .exe file. I couldn't find it anywhere.

Use the Build button on the lower left corner of the Codelite window to switch to the build output.

After compilation you should see something like: After switch you should see something like: Then report the errors here if they are specific to Codelite.

Thanks josee

I did as you instructed and here is the output from the build:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ""mingw32-make.exe" -j 2 -f "winChk_wsp.mk""
----------Building project:[ winChk - Debug ]----------
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Entering directory `C:/Program Files/CodeLite/projects/winChk/winChk'
windres -i "C:/Program Files/CodeLite/projects/winChk/winChk/resources.rc" --use-temp-file --define __WXMSW__ --define _UNICODE --include-dir C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12\lib\gcc_dll\mswu --include-dir C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12\include --define WXUSINGDLL -o ./Debug/resources.rc.o

// these are the errors the output shows
cc1.exe: error: C:\MinGW-4.4.1: No such file or directory
windres: gcc exited with status 1
mingw32-make.exe[1]: *** [Debug/resources.rc.o] Error 1
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `C:/Program Files/CodeLite/projects/winChk/winChk'
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 2

0 errors, 0 warnings

The output claims that cc1.exe: error C:\MinGW-4.4.1:No such file or directory; but that directory is there. Obviously it can't find it. How do I correct that error?
Do you think the other errors are related to the first one?

Thanks Eran that problem is solved.

Using that same video demo I build the program after adding the code for the OnHelp(wxCommandEvent& e) and coding the wxAboutDialogInfo but when I right clicked on the wxAboutDialogInfo line and selected: Add include file for "wxAboutDialogInfo" from the context menu nothing happened. In the video an Add Include File box came up but each time I try it, nothing comes up?
I searched the forum but couldn't find anything that addressed my problem. Can you please help me with this?
