C++ Build Fails - Inspite of 0 errors / 0 Warnings

[codebugs]

I am doing a Udemy course - Beginning C++ Programming. I am new to CodeLite. I'm using version 15.0.0 on Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.19043 Build 19043. I was running Codelite on a virtual machine (also Windows Pro) without any problems for the first 6 sections of the course. Suddenly, Codelite wouldn't run anymore at all. So, I decided to reinstall on the source machine. After several reinstalls, I finally got everything working again. Then, 2 days ago, I tried to run a simple project with variables and it just would not work. Here is the code and the build log:

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main( )
{
    int smRooms {0};
    int lgRooms {0};
    const double smCost {25};
    const double lgCost {35};
    const double tax {0.06};
    const int valid {30};
    

cout << "Hello! Welcome to Frank's Carpet Cleaning Service." << endl;
cout << "\nHow many small rooms would you like cleaned? " << endl;
cin >> smRooms;
cout << "\nAnd how many large rooms?" << endl;
cin >> lgRooms;

double subSmall = smRooms * smCost;
double subLarge = lgRooms * lgCost;
double subRooms = subLarge + subSmall;
double subTax = subRooms * tax;
double Estimate = subRooms + subTax;

cout << "The subtotal for  " << smRooms <<  " small rooms and " << lgRooms << " large rooms is $" << subRooms <<
             ".  The sales tax will be $" << subTax << "." << endl;
cout << "\nThe Estimate for the job will be $" << Estimate << ".  This estimate is valid for " << valid << " days." << endl;
          
return 0;
}

I was able to run the projekt without problems on OnlineGDB.com.
I thought the problem was caused by the antivirus program, but I disabled the program and I am still having problems. It's not consistent - sometimes the projects run, sometimes they don't, but the error message is always the same....cannot open output file Debug/projectname.exe: Permission denied.

Now something really weird just happened. I ran the project again, to double check and this time, it runs but not as written AND with the same error messages. I have attached screenshots of the run. Notice how the cout statements in the output don't match the code.

Thanks for any help.

Addendum to Post:

Today I deleted the antivirus program completely and so far, everything is running properly.
