Complier problems....

Moonliner · 11-02-2009, 08:38 PM

I'm working on a bear of a project. I need to compile an application into a windows executable.

I've been playing with MinGW and Msys and expat but I can't seem to get the damn thing to compile. It always barfs with a message "C compiler cannot create executable"

Anyone have any experience with this?

Have you double checked directory permissions? Did you compile a version to debug that might still be executing, thus preventing the compiler from being able to overwrite the executable?

Stoat says to check your PATH environment variable. It's likely it can't find one or more of the required componants.
