C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win [Build Error]

[Paula]

Hi,

I'm new to using Dev C++ and I'm using version 4.9.9.2 on Windows 7. I'm
trying to compile a project and I keep getting this error.

C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win Error 1

I can compile the file as a source file without any errors so it shouldn't be
any errors in the code.

This also comes up in the Compile Log.

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win"
Executing make...
make.exe -f "C:\Dev-Cpp\Makefile.win" all
gcc.exe -c input.txt -o input.o -I"C:/Dev-Cpp/include"
gcc.exe: input.txt: linker input file unused because linking not done
gcc.exe main.o input.o -o "Assembler.exe" -L"C:/Dev-Cpp/lib"
gcc.exe: input.o: No such file or directory
make.exe: * Error 1
Execution terminated

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks

I advise strongly against building your project in C:\Dev-Cpp. Not only is it
just a bad idea to pollute the installation folder, there is a bug in Dev-C++
that causes projects in C:\Dev-Cpp\ or its sub-folders to sometimes fail to
build.

Secondly, in general if you have a problem getting a tool to work, it is
unwise to be doing something unnecessarily and gratuitously unusual; and I
would suggest attempting to compile a .txt definitiely falls into the
unusual category, if not the downright bonkers!

I also suggest that you post logs in code mark-up rather than italics to
preserve line breaks correctly.

Try going to tools-compiler options-compiler and unselect the allowance of making fast but imperfect dependancy generation.
