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

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
