Dev-C++: Makefile Error
Author
I got an error with my project saying that it couldn't make the makefile, error File I/O number 32.
Try to delete the Makefile if it exists (Makefile.win or something similar in your project dir) perhaps it somehow became write-only. If that doesn't help try deleting all non-project files and attempting a build from there, if it still fails ask on the Dev-C++ forums.

How did you know that, Gor435?
Simple I am a genius. [smile]
No really I had it happen to me also and I know how to fix it.
I will post a description on how to fix it in a min need to go over my process and make sure I can explain it properly.

Don't waste your time there, it's fixed now, all I had to do was delete the makefile.
Note: Your file names and such my not be the same it depends on where you installed dev-c++
First open your compiler.
Next click on the tools option.
Then choose Compiler Options.
Now you will see tabs at the top of the compiler options window.
Click directories.
You will see a new set of tabs.
In the binaries tab you need to get delete the line that says C:\Dev-Cpp\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\3.3.1
and replace it with
C:\Dev-Cpp\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2
next you will want to go to the C++ includes tab.
replace all 3.3.1 includes with the same 3.4.2 includes
now you my close your compiler
find and open your bin folder
mine is C:\Dev-Cpp\bin
add something (like .bla thats what I did lol)
to the end of the file mingw32-gcc-3.3.1
or you can delete it I say add something just to change it so if it dosn't work you can just change it back.
I know you probably are wondering how I figured all this out. Trust me I pulled my hair out trying to get my compiler to work right again.
Now open up your compiler and start a new project and try it out. [smile]

Ok but if that was your problem it will happen every time you start a project
My description is assuming you installed the 3.4.2 mingw upgrade.
