Problem with compiling Topic is solved

[mikecoon]

Okay, when I compile using the Compile and Run option I get the following error:

make.exe: *** No rule to make target `pp', needed by `Song_related_classes/SongCollection_nested_classes.o'. Stop.

Now when I compile by using the Rebuild All option, the error goes away and it compiles and runs just fine.

So I get the error when using the Compile and Run option and it compiles without the error with the Rebuild All option. Anyone have an idea why it does this?

Hi mikecoon,

I encountered that some time ago, too. I never really found out why, but the project files somehow got messed up.
What helped for me was creating a new project and adding all files and options from the corrupted project to that new one.
Perhaps a dev from wxDevCpp could chime in and post some further insight into this.

HTH, Chris

P.S.: Please don't post questions in several subforums. Thanks.

Well, starting a new project did the trick.

But still, I still want to know why Rebuild All compiles but Compile and Run did not compile.

Any dev from wxDevCpp knwo why?

well, one possible reason is that the makefile generation didn't complete, or the other reason... is that you double clicked the project to launch wxDev-C++... i dont know why, but sometimes when i launch wxDev-C++ by doublie clicking a project, it wont work properly.

Well, I did not double click a project to start wxDevCpp. I suppose this is just one of those bugs we have to live with.

But starting a new project etc did the trick.
