Dev-C++ - [Build Error] [main.o] Error 1

Expand Post »
Hi again everyone, Im running into big trouble with my compiler Dev-C++, every time i compile any project, whether it is 1 im working on, or a completely fresh 1 I get the same error every single time, I have been on the bloodshed forums and IRC channel but Im not getting anywhere with it...I am interested in working with Windows Programming in C/C++ at the moment and every project I try to compile gives the same error...

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. C:\Dev-Cpp\Current_Project\Makefile.win [Build Error]  [main.o] Error 1

and this is my compile log

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. Compiler: Default compiler
  2. Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp\Current_Project\Makefile.win"
  3. Executing  make...
  4. make.exe -f "C:\Dev-Cpp\Current_Project\Makefile.win" all
  5. g++.exe -D__DEBUG__ -c main.cpp -o main.o -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib/gcc/mingw32/3.4.2/include"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2/backward"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2/mingw32"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include/c++/3.4.2"  -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include"    -pg -g3
  6.  
  7. The system cannot find the path specified.
  8.  
  9. make.exe: *** [main.o] Error 1
  10.  
  11. Execution terminated

I have tried many times re-installing the program aswell as re-configuring it and installing with fresh configurations etc...nothing seems to work, I get the same error over and over again...anyone know why or how to overcome it ?

Re: Dev-C++ - [Build Error] [main.o] Error 1

might be a dumb question -- but did you check your computer to see if those -I<path> paths actually exist?

Re: Dev-C++ - [Build Error] [main.o] Error 1

Is C:\Dev-Cpp\bin in your path?

Re: Dev-C++ - [Build Error] [main.o] Error 1

Yes I have checked all of the paths and they all exist...this even happens when I compile a project from scratch..ie...

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1.  C:\Dev-Cpp\New_Project\Makefile.win [Build Error]  [main.o] Error 1

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. Compiler: Default compiler
  2. Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp\New_Project\Makefile.win"
  3. Executing  make...
  4. make.exe -f "C:\Dev-Cpp\New_Project\Makefile.win" all
  5. gcc.exe -c main.c -o main.o -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include"   
  6.  
  7. The system cannot find the path specified.
  8.  
  9. make.exe: *** [main.o] Error 1
  10.  
  11. Execution terminated

>Dave what do you mean by is C:\Dev-Cpp\bin in my path ? and what is all of that within the code box? I thought it may have come from command prompt or something like that so i tried typing...

C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. C:\>path
  2. PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
  3.  
  4. C:\>
I dont have a clue what any of that is for, could you explain it? thanks.

Re: Dev-C++ - [Build Error] [main.o] Error 1

I'm asking you what I think your make utility is asking you. Does it know where to look for g++?

The stuff in the box is a copy of my result when I execute the path command in a command shell. It is telling me that the path to g++ is indeed available to my system. Yours tells you this is not so.

When you install Dev-Cpp, do you need to reboot to update the path? (It's been so long since I've done this that I forget.)

I think it depends on which version of Windows is running. W2K/XP, definitely not. Win95/98/ME, I'm not sure either (I never used ME)

Add c:\Dev-Cpp\bin\ to your path. Reboot.

(But it does appear to find the make utility, which I would assume is in the same directory, so I'm reaching for straws.)

I use XP Pro too.

you might also check the length of the PATH environment variable. On my computer it's so long that there isn't any room left to add more. So I have a batch file to truncate the PATH to bare necessity so that I can run other command-line programs from command prompt.

Look at the end of the PATH as shown in command prompt -- if the last path isn't all there, then you probably have to same problem that I do.

You can change this. I've forgotten how I did it, but I ran into the same problem. Increasing the enviroment size fixed it.

I think it's a parameter to command.com in config.sys.
