Cannot compile

[pkuriakose]

I cannot seem to get codelite to invoke mingw32-make correctly with the .mk file.

I have reinstalled many times. Both codelite and ming have been reinstalled multiple times. I am using gcc ver 4.4.x. I invoke mingw32-make manually and it still does not work.

I have no idea what is going on here. Please help.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:/MinGW/bin/mingw32-make.exe" -j 2 -f "DatabaseTools_wsp.mk""
zsh: bad pattern: project:[
mingw32-make.exe: *** [All] Error 1

where does this come from?

codelite does not uses any shells, do you have Cygwin installed on your system?
If you do, do this:
make sure that the MinGW path is set first on the path (or at least before the Cygwin path)

In any case, do this:
set the system environment variable SHELL to CMD.EXE

restart codelite and try again

Hi Eranif,

Thanks very much for the quick reply.

Cygwin is not installed. No other shell is installed.

I really have no idea where zsh comes from. The build output text that I posted shows that CodeLite is invoking cmd.exe directly and with an explicit path. Also mingw32-make is also explicitly path'd. Please see below where I invoke manually from the command line... (yes I am that old).

C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My Documents\CodeLite\DatabaseTools>mingw32-make
-j 2 -f DatabaseTools_wsp.mk
zsh: bad pattern: project:[
mingw32-make: *** [All] Error 1

I took out everything from my path but the system dir's and ming and codelite. I don't know what this is about.

Thanks,

Paul

Did you set the SHELL environment variable to CMD.EXE as I suggested?

Where did you install MinGW from?

EDIT: Did you install MinGW + MSYS?

I did set it. It had no effect.

I installed mingw from the main ming site. I have tried 3.x and 4.x with the same effect. I do not have msys. Is that necessary?

Thanks,

Paul

Solved,

Found gnu's sh.exe in my path. My bad.

Thanks for you help.
