#510 Having problem to create a new project

[Abby Adeyanju]

Hello Forum, Im pretty new to this forum. My major challenge is that Im having problem to create a new project from the codeblock. Also , I can't build and run the existing project file because it always return error "ld.exe||cannot open output file C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\mingw32\bin\test2cpp\main.exe Permission denied|​"
||error: ld returned 1 exit status|​

Please, kindly help me how to go about it because I'm just learning this language from the scratch

1) This site is a bug tracker, and the purpose of a bug tracker is to track bugs. You have a support question. The better place to ask this kind of questions is http://forums.codeblocks.org/
2) The error tells you exactly what goes wrong :

cannot open output file C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\mingw32\bin\test2cpp\main.exe Permission denied

The linker can not open the output file because he has not the permission to do so. So fix this and all will work...

C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\mingw32\bin is a awful bad place to create your own projects. You won't have write permission there. Use your home directory to create projects... Also is it a bad idea to use spaces or non ASCII characters in your project path. It should work, but it can create wired problems..

you have to save the code again after each modification with a new name as for example arq1.ce at once arq2.c to be able to compile and run, the problem does not have any relation with the anti-virus so you can keep it active, the project folders are for to save the codes after each modification with a new name to keep the historical evolution of the project, so the IDE does not allow to save the file after modification overwriting an existing file
