Re: Why eC IDE gives me an Error ???


Hi there,

You said when you first installed Ecere you got an error from Visual
Studio? (Not from the Ecere installer?)

I am aware of a bug in the installer of 0.43 which sometimes crashes
on the first install, but either still installs properly or works the
second time around... I will fix it for next release if I can
reproduce the problem.

How far along does Ecere work? Can you start the IDE fine?
You can look under File / Global Settings if the path to your MinGW
executables and Ecere executables are set properly. The first thing
the IDE tries to do after generating the Makefile is executing the
make.exe which should be located in the Ecere SDK/MinGW/bin/ folder.
That is likely where the error building is occurring. The Installer by
default also adds those binary folders to your PATH environment
variable..

Please let me know if this helps or if you still have problems with it
I will do my best to help you get Ecere running,

Best regards,

Jerome

How exactly did you try to build with GCC from the command line?
When running from the IDE, I believe the paths from the global
settings should take precedence on all your other paths...

But let's try to get you to use that GCC first...
Also which Windows version are you on? Vista has its own issues.
Although last time I tested it was all working :)

Let's see what you're doing and the output you have from GCC?
The installer does not do much more than extracting the files in the
folder and adding it ot the path, that's all that should be required.

Re: Why eC IDE gives me an Error ???


I tested in Windows XP Service pack 3

After compiling :

gcc -o test  source.c

as i said before i got the following:

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an
unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

If the installer does not do much more than extracting the files in
the
folder and adding it ot the path , i am very curious about what it is
actually doing.

Whenever i install mingw with or without any other package it just
works.
I ensure you that  i have unistalled all previous installations of
mingw even if they weren't in my PATH
Just to be sure.
I also disabled the Antivirus (AVG antivirus scans files on close...)

But i am afraid that the only thing that i haven't unistalled is the
visual studio
which it must be (i beleive) the only program left that might
confilcts with Ecere installation.
As soon as i have enough spare  time i will try to unistall it,test

Re: Why eC IDE gives me an Error ???


The whole situation is very strange, but you could always make use of
any other MinGW version with Ecere.

All you will need to do for the IDE to be able to execute the builds
is to copy mingw-make.exe to make.exe in Ecere's bin folder.

There shouldn't be any conflicts with visual studios... But then of
course uninstalling other applications which can potentially conflict
in terms of executables etc. is always good in trying to determine
where the problem is... Also please note that the version of MinGW
that is in the 0.43 installer is an alpha release of MinGW GCC 4.

One thing you could try is simply try it on another machine, as Ecere
installed and run without problems for many people... That could help
identify the source of the problem.

Please keep me up to date on your attempts, good luck!

Cheers,

Jerome
