Can't remove unrecognized compiler option

[ctrl]

I'v ebeen using CodeLite for my CS course and it was working fine until it suddenly would not compile anything correctly. When I tried to fix it, I found out that somehow I had reset my compiler to mingw32-make.exe (this is on Windows), so I set it back to the compiler I had been using (mingw32-g++.exe), and there is suddenly an unrecognized compiler option that I can't remove.

----------Build Started--------
C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:/Program Files (x86)/MinGW-4.6.1/bin/mingw32-g++.exe" -j 2 "cs102_wsp.mk""
mingw32-g++.exe: error: 2: No such file or directory
mingw32-g++.exe: error: unrecognized option '-j'
----------Build Ended----------
0 errors, 0 warnings

Any ideas?

Probably should have added that I have checked everything I can think to check, like linker options, compiler options, build tool switches, etc.

You changed the wrong tool.

From:
"Settings -> build settings -> build system -> build tool"

Change:
mingw32-g++ to mingw32-make

You chnaged the build tool (the 'make' to 'g++;)

if you want to change the compiler, its from:

"settings -> build settings -> compilers -> gnu g++ -> tools"

Is there a certain format I have to use? Do I have to change the environment variables? Because when I change the build tool back to mingw32-make.exe and put in a compiler name under Build Settings-->Compiler-->gnu g++-->tools it just gives me an error:

You probably modified the PATH of you system within codelite.
Did you alter PATH environment variable anywhere in codelite?
Do you have g++ in the path (it looks like its not in the path)
Try adding the MinGW bin directory path to the PATH environment variable
from:

setting -> environment variable

and add:

Code: Select all

PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\MinGW-4.6.1\bin;$(PATH)

I've tried modifying the environment variables and the PATH environment variable under Build Settings-->Compiler and it just gives me this huge list of issues:

I'm not really sure why it's accessing system files, but I'm pretty sure that it's not supposed to do that...

Nevermind, I figured it out. In an earlier attempt to fix it, I had gone to Build Settings-->Compilers-->Advanced and changed the global include path. It was supposed to be blank, so I changed it and it works now. Thanks for the help!
