[Solved] Weird compilation errors with Hello World

[gtsiam]

I've just downloaded CodeLite version 6.1.1 (precompiled version) and I keep getting some weird errors while trying to compile the Hello World program.
When I try, I get this:

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:/Program Files (x86)/CodeLite/MinGW-4.8.1/bin/mingw32-make.exe" -j4 SHELL=cmd.exe  -e -f  Makefile"
"----------Building project:[ pdp_27_B - Debug ]----------"
'C:/Program' ›œ¤ ˜¤˜š¤à¨åœ«˜  ઠœ©à«œ¨ ¡ã 㠜¥à«œ¨ ¡ã œ¤«¦¢ã,
œ¡«œ¢[b][/b]â© £¦ §¨æš¨˜££˜ 㠘¨®œå¦ ›â©£žª œ¤œ¨šœ é¤.
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 1
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'All' failed
1 errors, 0 warnings

but when I try to compile with Visual C++ 12 compiler (yes, I have Visual studio 2013 installed), I get:

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:/Program Files (x86)/CodeLite/MinGW-4.8.1/bin/mingw32-make.exe" -j4 SHELL=cmd.exe  -e -f  Makefile"
"----------Building project:[ pdp_27_B - Debug ]----------"
'C:/Program' ›œ¤ ˜¤˜š¤à¨åœ«˜  ઠœ©à«œ¨ ¡ã 㠜¥à«œ¨ ¡ã œ¤«¦¢ã,
œ¡«œ¢â© £¦ §¨æš¨˜££˜ 㠘¨®œå¦ ›â©£žª œ¤œ¨šœ é¤.
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 1
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'All' failed
0 errors, 0 warnings

Note: I've noticed that it still uses mingw32-make.exe, after I switched the compiler.
I switched the compiler by right-clicking my project and going to Settings --> Common Settings --> General --> General Project Settings --> Compiler

Unfortunately, using VC++ 12 doesn't do it either, as the program runs, but prints nothing (except for the "Press Any key to continue..." message)

Because my computer is set to Greek, I believe that the first problem is caused because CodeLite does not support Unicode.As for the second, I can't explain it.

I doubt that many people have encoutered this problem before, but I would be glad to find a solution, as I really need to use MinGW for the project I am working on, and I really like the CodeLite IDE (No I am not willing to change my system language, so don;t even think about it)

I hope someone comes up with something soon. Thanks in advance (I hope).

Settings->Environment variables

Add this:

Code: Select all

LC_ALL=C

This will change the compiler output to English (but will not affect your computer)

Thanks for quick the answer eranif, but, unfortunately, that did not do it.

I'm not sure if you thought that this

Code: Select all

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:/Program Files (x86)/CodeLite/MinGW-4.8.1/bin/mingw32-make.exe" -j4 SHELL=cmd.exe  -e -f  Makefile"
"----------Building project:[ pdp_27_B - Debug ]----------"
'C:/Program' ›œ¤ ˜¤˜š¤à¨åœ«˜  ઠœ©à«œ¨ ¡ã 㠜¥à«œ¨ ¡ã œ¤«¦¢ã,
œ¡«œ¢â© £¦ §¨æš¨˜££˜ 㠘¨®œå¦ ›â©£žª œ¤œ¨šœ é¤.
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 1
Makefile:4: recipe for target 'All' failed
1 errors, 0 warnings

is Greek, but I can assure you, it is not.

Does any one have any other solutions?

Did you try installing MinGW under a folder _without_ spaces?
Something like:
C:\MinGW or C:\Users\YOU\MinGW ?
