I am just learning C++ via Codelite, which was updated on 01/11. After updating to the latest version, 17.0.0, I get the error

process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, makedir Debug, ...) failed.

mingw32-make[1]: *** [AssignmentOperator.mk:90: Debug/.d] Error 2,

mingw32-make: *** [Makefile:5: All] Error 2

when I run a simple code.

#include <iostream> int main(){ std::cout<<"Hello"<<std::endl; return 0;

and get nothing in the terminal window.

How can I fix this problem? Thanks a lot.

I guess the probrem occured since the updating of Codelite, but I have no idea how to fix it.

Looks like a an old relic that was not handled properly during upgrade.

This can be fixed in 2 ways:

Update the mkdir command as defined by your compiler setup:

Go to Settings -> build settings and select your compiler from the list

Select the Tools tab

Select the last entry at the bottom mkdir

Replace the content with the mkdir that comes with CodeLite, for example, if you have installed CodeLite under C:\Program Files\CodeLite (the default path), set it to

"C:/Program Files/CodeLite/mkdir.exe" -p
Notice the double quotes around the command itself
Change the makefile generator used
Right click on your project and open the project settings
In the General tab, under the Makefile Generator change the selection from Default -> CodeLite Makefile Generator
I'm using Mac OS 13.1,  and codelite 17.0.0,  and when I 'clean', build completed successfully. But when I run its show 'make: ***[All] Error 2.
What happened? just new to learn C++
                === build completed successfully (0 errors, 0 warnings) ===                                         then rebuild shows:make: *** [All] Error 2

                I'm also new to learn c++, so I cannot well understand. I guess the problem is caused by the section of your workspace or project. Maybe following a good C++ guide video (on Youtube or somewhere providing such sources) can help you.

I had the same problem with Codelite 17 in windows.
Solution:
In Settings - Build - Tools under Makedir select the Path of mkdir.exe within in the Codelite folder (surrounded by " -quotes).
Although context help says to leave it empty in order to use the OS' own mkdir, Windows' mkdir is quite different to the mkdir of other *ix-like OS.
Furthermore for me it was necessary to explicitly add  -p
There is a hint in Codelite's change dokumentation in the recent monthly build 17.1 that it solves this problem as a bugfix.
