No rule to make target

[GCB-Toronto]

I am getting the following error when I right-click -> "Compile", for example, the deflate.c module in my project.

----------Build Started--------
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ""mingw32-make.exe" -j 2 -f "gzip4.mk" Debug/GZIP4_deflate.obj"
----------Building project:[ gzip4 - Debug ] (Single File Build)----------
mingw32-make.exe: *** No rule to make target `Debug/GZIP4_deflate.obj'. Stop.
----------Build Ended----------
0 errors, 0 warnings

I created the project by New Workspace, and New Project, then using "Add Existing File" to add the source files and header files into the project.

I have included my make file and project file below

I can't seem to reproduce this..

which version of codelite are you using?

Eran

[GCB-Toronto]

Version v3.0.5041

[GCB-Toronto]

Is this an issue that could be corrected by editing the makefile?

[eranif]

Version v3.0.5041

codelite 3 is very old. Please upgrade. The current stable release is 5.1. codelite 5.1 is compatible with old versions of codelite (back to v1.0) so its really safe to upgrade

Is this an issue that could be corrected by editing the makefile?

No. Any change done to the makefile will be override by codelite

Ok thanks that is better, but I am getting different errors as below.
Could there be a problem with the double-double quotes around "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 8/VC/include"?

Looks like it
Make sure you don't have any "" around the _global_ include path from:
Settings -> Build Settings -> Compilers -> VC++

As a side note, why are you using VC++? why not g++? You should know that codelite has not debugger capabilities for VC++ binaries only for gcc/g++ binaries

Eran

[GCB-Toronto]

I may go back to gcc, I am compiling gz port it into a Win32-based application.

I got rid of all double quotes in the _global_ include path and now it compiles properly.

Thanks eranif !

[GCB-Toronto]

(one more question)

How to switch back to g++? Do I need to re-make the project or is there a simple way to switch compilers?

Thanks!

[eranif]

project settings -> common settings -> general

and change the compiler type from 'VC++' to 'g++'
