Build with Codelite 6.1

[tony.jay]

Pursuant to the ongoing, so it seems from all the reading that I am doing, issue with build - see this thread from July: http://forums.codelite.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2621

I am going round in circles here because not a single proposed solution works.
Bluntly put Codelite is unusable to me.
I have gone through the thread mentioned above with a fine tooth comb trying to sort out the problem.
I started with 6.0 but on the advice given changed to 6.1.

It seems as if a lot of the formal advice on this website is out of date.
Additionally there have also been changes to the "Build Settings" interface although I did manage to work these out.

The bottom line is that no matter what I attempt to do with the "Make" options in Tools I cannot get a workable solution.
Unfortunately I am writing this post on a different computer to the one on which Codelite is installed so getting screenshots etc is a major pain.

In my opinion it is likely that the answer is very simple - I just don't know what it is.

Frustratedly yours

Can you please provide a detailed information about the exact nature of your error?
Make sure you follow the HOW TO POST thread (see my signature)

The issue is a well documented error as stated previously where any attempt to Build is followed by a message that says: "The current directory is invalid".
Above it is the makefile path.

The reason I provided the link is that I cannot see any difference between the issue raised there and mine.
As stated I have tried all the options suggested in that thread with no success.
I have also gone looking throughout my system for any sh.exe files that might cause issues - there were none.

In addition this issue has raised plenty of dust on many other fora and certain solutions were raised there as well - none of those work either.

As stated I believe the issue will be simple once it is apparent.

The issue is a well documented error

Documented where?

Please provide the build log, codelite version, mingw version, OS version
I will need to see the build log

Without getting into semantics perhaps problem is better than error!
Nonetheless this issue, problem, whatever is getting a fair of airtime on many fora including this one.

Windows 8.1.
Codelite 6.1.
MinGW-4.8.1.

Where is your workspace located? i.e. which folder? Try moving it to another location with user permissions like: C:\Users\YOU\src
Also, make sure you place all your code under folders without spaces in their path.

NOTE: this is a MinGW issue and not codelite issue

The default workspace created is in the Codelite folder.
I have noted, in the many posts that I have read over the last few hours that moving the workspace to other places like C:\Workplace,as you are suggesting.
Unfortunately this has had no effect as far as solving the issue goes although it did change the messages.

So, are there any restrictions as to where the workspace should or shouldn't be created?

This is the result from a workspace saved to c:Workspace:

can you paste your makefile here (use code tags please)

You are going to have to explain how one gets to the makefile - this is not obvious to me.
A quick Google search was not very enlightening.
