Need Help with executing first program in Code Lite

[aeroaks]

I had installed codelite-4.0.5589-mingw4.6.1-wx2.9.4.exe (from http://sourceforge.net/projects/codelit ... elite-4.0/) which installed codelite, mingw and wx.
I then tried to do the same as in this LINK: http://www.codelite.org/docs/VideoTutor ... nsole.html.

I am not getting "Hello World" printed in my Console. I have posted the build log below. Could you please help.

Code: Select all

----------Build Started--------

Do let me know if I did forget any detail.

I have tried Writing a simple hello world program (http://www.codelite.org/LiteEditor/HelloWorld). But getting similar Errors.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	printf("hello world\n");
	return 0;
}

You got another installation on your system which includes mingw toolchain and it seems that it takes precedence of codelite's MinGW installation.
Remove it from your path OR make sure that codelite's mingw is the first one in the PATH environment variable.

Thanks. DId remove previous Installation of MinGw and the Hello World code runs successfully.

But Regarding the first Post:

The code builds Successfully, similar to the Hello World program, but when I try to RUN the code the Output of the program is not visible. When I try to run the .exe under the release folder of the project, it says that "The program cannot start because wxmsw294u_gcc_custom.dll is missing". What should be done?

It means that you modified the default PATH environment within codelite.
Please paste here the content of:
Settings -> Environment variables

[aeroaks]

CodeLiteDir=C:\Program Files\CodeLite
WXWIN=C:\wxWidgets-2.9.4
PATH=$(WXWIN)\lib\gcc_dll;$(PATH)
WXCFG=gcc_dll\mswu
UNIT_TEST_PP_SRC_DIR=C:\UnitTest++-1.3

These are all the settings! Hope it helps.

I really appreciate your time and help!

I missed that line.
Quick question: which project type did you choose?

If you selected wxWidgets project and you want to view the output in the console, then make sure that you remove the flag -mwindows from the linker option (right click on your project -> settings -> linker -> Options)
rebuild your project from within codelite and execute it - you should now see the black CMD console.

it says that "The program cannot start because wxmsw294u_gcc_custom.dll is missing".

when running programs from within codelite, codelite modifies the environment variable a bit to allow executing wxWidgets related programs, for example it adds the path where the wxWidgets dlls exists:

Code: Select all

WXWIN=C:\wxWidgets-2.9.4
PATH=$(WXWIN)\lib\gcc_dll;$(PATH)

In the above, codelite will prepend the "C:\wxWidgets-2.9.4\lib\gcc_dll" to the content of the environment variable $(PATH), ofc this change only affects when executing from within codelite and not from the console.

removed the -mwindows flag from the linker and the output is visible in the console.
Thanks.

What settings do I need to do to get a executable file for console / GUI output.
