I am sorry I focused on the .project/.workspace file

About the generated makefile:
it looks pretty good to me. It should compile main.cpp, yet you claim it does not.

Try this:
- Physically remove the directory ./Debug (which holds the objects)
- Try to build again - does it been re-created?
- Also: please post here the output of the build after you physically removed the directory ./Debug

the ./Debug directory is recreated, but it is empy = no object files and here is the build log:

Code: Select all

----------Build Started--------
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ""mingw32-make.exe"  -j 2 -f "testCon_wsp.mk""
----------Building project:[ testCon - Debug ]----------
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Entering directory `M:/data/cppprojects/testCon'
g++ -o ./Debug/testCon  "-Le:/data/MinGW-4.4.0/lib/" "-Le:/data/libraries/wxWidgets-2008-05-06/lib/gcc_lib/" "-Le:/data/libraries/glew/bin/" "-Le:/data/libraries/boost_1_35_0/lib/" "-Le:/data/libraries/devil/lib/unicode/"  "-L."   
g++: no input files
mingw32-make.exe[1]: *** [Debug/testCon] Error 1
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 2
mingw32-make.exe[1]: Leaving directory `M:/data/cppprojects/testCon'
----------Build Ended----------
0 errors, 0 warnings
if i right click the main.cpp and choose compile, the main.cpp is compiled and object files are created in Debug directory:

Code: Select all

----------Build Started--------
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ""mingw32-make.exe"  -j 2 -f "testCon.mk"  ./Debug/main.o"
----------Building project:[ testCon - Debug ] (Single File Build)----------
g++ -c  "M:/data/cppprojects/testCon/main.cpp" -g  -o ./Debug/main.o "-Ie:/data/MinGW-4.4.0/include/" "-Ie:/data/libraries/wxWidgets-2008-05-06/include/" "-Ie:/data/libraries/glew/include/" "-Ie:/data/libraries/boost_1_35_0/include/" "-Ie:/data/libraries/devil/include/"  "-I." "-I." 
----------Build Ended----------
0 errors, 0 warnings
but then building the project does not create executable and the build log is the same as the first one in this post (g++: no input files)

release build behaves the same

EDIT:
compiling from command line (mingw32-make.exe -j 2 -f testCon_wsp.mk) gives the same error, so it is probably a problem outsie the codelite

Shell,

Do you have MSYS installed?
If you have, can you remove it from the path for the sake of the test?

it does not work from command line.. so I doubt codelite restart can solve this.

Can u re-install codelite with wx + mingw and try compile it with codelite's MinGW?

He has another problem:
The main.cpp file does not get compile.. this is why it is missing.

unistalled CL, deleted all left over directories and files. i also uninstalled code::blocks. newly installed cl+mingw+wx package and all runs fine :) this is my main pc with win xp. during weekend i will do the same with notebook with win 7 x64.

i hope it is not a conflict with code::blocks because i use it for designing wxwidgets gui...
