Hi, I want to create a helloworld gui, first i create a new workspace and project either with gizmo or through 'create new project' operation, there's a build error, build message is as below:

Code: Select all

----------Build Started--------

I'm a beginner of C++, but i noticed makedir is not a valid command at all, i checked the project makefile and found the so-called 'makedir' part, meanwhile i noticed this part of my makefile is different from the one i found in another post, is there something wrong with makefile generator or this is a stupid mistake of myself...?

here is the project makefile:

Indeed. However, 'makedir' is a utility provided by codelite (it is installed where you installed your codelite)

The main problem that I can see here is that your PATH variable is too small.
Did you modify your PATH environment variable from within codelite? (from settings -> environment variables or from the compiler settings)?

wow,i finally find the makedir.exe(it's weired that windows search didn't find that before).
i add the dir to my PATH and now the PATH is:C:\MinGW-4.4.0\bin;C:\MinGW-4.4.0\libexec\gcc\mingw32\4.4.0;C:\msys\1.0\bin;C:\Program Files\CodeLite;C:\wxWidgets-2.8.10\lib\gcc_dll. Project was successfully built then, but when i run the activate project, a modal dialog jumps: cant find wxmsw28ud_gcc_custom.dll, then i find it in C:\wxWidgets-2.8.10\lib\gcc_dll and this dir was added to PATH as you see. and now the whole thing finally works. But, what dir should be added to PATH in environment variable? I know this question is naive,but still want to ask ...

thanks Eran, thanks for excellent work and great patience!

By default: none.

If you plan on modifying PATH environment variable from within codelite, make sure you edit it like this:

New value: /some/new/path;$(PATH)

this will make sure that the original content of PATH is appended to the new path. I suspect that you set the new path without the $(PATH) - so some paths were removed.

Also note that on the Windows, the path separator is ';' (semi-colon) while on link it is colons (':')
