CodeLite IDE

OS: Linux Mint 17
Codelite v.6.1
wxCrafter v.1.6

Greetings Forum:

Just got Codelite and wxCrafter installed. But the deal is, I'm not sure I have Codelite setup right. I can't get the tutorial (http://codelite.org/LiteEditor/WxCrafterHelloWorld) to run for me. Actually, even though I have this as a GUI project using wxCrafter, it's trying to run from the terminal. Here are few things that I hope will help you help me:

Output View --> Build: Output View --> Output: I can't find where to change this to make it run as a GUI instead of the term. Hope you guys/gals can help me get on the right track.

I like the look and feel of Codelite. Am ready to get going with it.

Thanks in advance,
Landslyde

This line is the problem.
You don't have Make utility for some reason.

Try typing this from the command line: Do you have an output?

If it works, go to (from the main menu):
settings->build settings->compilers

Select your compiler (you can find out which compiler you are using from the project settings->common settings->general->compiler)
And paste the content you have under: your compiler->Tools->Make

See this screenshot for an example: Eran

To help cover some of my embarrassment, I reinstalled both Windows 7 Pro and Linux Mint 17 two days ago. In reinstalling some of my lost programs, the one I failed to get was g++

The little Hello World GUI works now. Was as simple as that.

Thanks for your help, Eran. I'll be back though, I'm sure of it. My goal here is to build a database app for an ex-employer. So I'll be diving into the deep waters of Codelite. Thanks again.

No. That did not fix my issue. In my previos post, I actually ran make in the term of the project folder. So when I went back to Codelite, it ran for me. I then did the tutorial again to test the results and found that installing g++ didn't solve my problem. It still fails to make. Here is the screenshot of my term during make:
Eran, you told me:

And paste the content you have under: your compiler->Tools->Make

But that term screen is kinda busy. I don't know wnat to copy paste.

Here are other screenshots showing compiler and make settings in Codelite:
So, since I can use make in the term but not in Codelite, I know I don't have it set right. And the saga continues...

Thanks,
Landslyde

Instead, please provide a screenshot of your build settings:

From the main menu: Settings->Build Settings...

Make sure that the "Compilers" tab is selected at the top.
On the list view (left side), select the compiler 'gnu g++'

and take a screenshot

Hope this helps. And I apologize for all the "noob" stuff. But I'm learning here. Thank you for that.

Hi,

Your 'Make' setting is '-j2'. Mine is '/usr/bin/make -j8'.

First, in a terminal do: which make
to check that 'make' really is available (if not, install it!) and where it is. Then put that path in that dialog's 'Make' field. So for you it will probably now read: '/usr/bin/make -j2'.

Regards,

David

Since we know that you have make installed on your machine (you compiled your code manually from the terminal)
Change the 'Make' tool (from the screenshot you posted) to:

Thanks, David. That was the ticket. Much appreciated.
