New programmer: Build issue

[eranif]

Can you post some more info? like how your compilers are configured? the build error?

I am having the same SHELL environment issue with CodeLite (we have to have Cygwin installed as well as CodeLite with MinGW). I tried the pre-release 6.1 version that is referenced in this thread, but now I get a different error:

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "C:/MinGW-4.8.1/bin/mingw32-make.exe -j4 -e -f  Makefile"
----------Building project:[ test - Debug ]----------

C:/MinGW-4.8.1/bin/g++.exe   -c  "C:/Users/itstaff/Desktop/test/main.cpp" -g -O0 -Wall  -o ./Debug/main.cpp.o -I. -I.

mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Users/itstaff/Desktop/test'
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 2
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'All' failed
1 errors, 0 warnings

It looks like g++ thinks that 'C:/Users/itstaff/Desktop/test/main.cpp -g' is somehow a file name rather than a file name and an option?

The file itself certainly exists and just contains:

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
 
return 0;
}

Any help would be appreciated.
