Make.exe Error

[William Wheeler]

I am getting this error when Trying to compile a simple Hello World! WIN32 Program:

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Documents and Settings\Skipper\My Documents\C++ Files\First Project\Makefile.win"

make (e=32): The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

make.exe: *** [main.o] Error 32

Execution terminated

And the Following is the Code that Lead to this error:

include <windows.h>

const char ClsName = "BasicApp";
const char WndName = "A Simple Window";

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProcedure(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg,
WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

INT WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
MSG Msg;
HWND hWnd;
WNDCLASSEX WndClsEx;

// Create the application window
WndClsEx.cbSize        = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
WndClsEx.style         = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
WndClsEx.lpfnWndProc   = WndProcedure;
WndClsEx.cbClsExtra    = 0;
WndClsEx.cbWndExtra    = 0;
WndClsEx.hIcon         = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
WndClsEx.hCursor       = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);

WndClsEx.lpszClassName = ClsName;

WndClsEx.hIconSm       = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);

// Register the application
RegisterClassEx(&WndClsEx);

// Create the window object
hWnd = CreateWindow(ClsName,
          WndName,
          WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
          CW_USEDEFAULT,
          CW_USEDEFAULT,
          CW_USEDEFAULT,
          CW_USEDEFAULT,
          NULL,
          NULL,
          hInstance,
          NULL);

// Find out if the window was created
if( !hWnd ) // If the window was not created,
    return 0; // stop the application

// Display the window to the user
ShowWindow(hWnd, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
UpdateWindow(hWnd);

// Decode and treat the messages
// as long as the application is running
while( GetMessage(&Msg, NULL, 0, 0) )
{
         TranslateMessage(&Msg);
         DispatchMessage(&Msg);
}

return Msg.wParam;

}

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProcedure(HWND hWnd, UINT Msg,
WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch(Msg)
{
// If the user wants to close the application
case WM_DESTROY:
// then close it
PostQuitMessage(WM_QUIT);
break;
default:
// Process the left-over messages
return DefWindowProc(hWnd, Msg, wParam, lParam);
}
// If something was not done, let it go
return 0;
}

I guess you missed the part about not creating projects in paths containing spaces when you read the "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION" thread?

Start by not creating your project in ""C:\Documents and Settings\Skipper\My Documents\C++ Files\First Project".

I suggest "C:\cpp_files\first_project\&quot; instead.
