cygwin gcc no such file error

[R12345]

I am trying to use a cygwin gcc compiler.
When I build I get a "No such file or directory" error, but the file exists!
If I use a batch file to launch the compiler it works fine, so I know all the paths are correct.

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "mingw32-make -e -f  Makefile"
----------Building project:[ test_1 - Debug ]----------
mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/user.name/Documents/CodeLite/Workspace/test_1'

mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Users/user.name/Documents/CodeLite/Workspace/test_1'
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'All' failed

I have no idea what to do.
I am using Windows 7-64. Does CodeLite only work on Linux?

You need to start codelite from within the cygwin terminal. In addition, make sure that you have selected the cygwin compiler in the project settings

Thank you eranif.
I am not sure what you are telling me to do. Are you saying that I must run CodeLite in a Linux emulator? That what I am attempting to do is impossible?
The cygwin terminal is an emulation of the Linux command line. It cannot launch a GUI program as far as I know.

Its not a Linux emulator, its just a bash console with Linux utilities and understanding the Linux paths
You can run codelite from within it (and this is the recommended way of doing it)

Yes it can

see attached screenshot to see what I meant
