Newbie: How to handle gcc build output?

[DavidA]

Hi

I’ve just started using VisualGDB, in VS Studio 2015. I have created the “Hello world” app described in the Linux tutorial.

If I make an intentional syntax error in my code and execute Build >Build solution I see:

1> Command exited with code 2
1> Executable: make
1> Arguments: CONFIG=Debug
1> Directory: /tmp/VisualGDB/c/Users/<snip>/Documents/VisualGDB_projects/LinuxProject1/LinuxProject1
1>VisualGDB : error : Command-line action failed
1>C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft.Cpp\v4.0\V140\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets(37,5): error MSB3073: The command “”C:\Program Files (x86)\Sysprogs\VisualGDB\VisualGDB.exe” /build “C:\Users\daldrich\Documents\VisualGDB_projects\LinuxProject1\LinuxProject1\LinuxProject1.vcxproj” “/solution:C:\Users\<snip>\Documents\VisualGDB_projects\LinuxProject1\LinuxProject1.sln” “/config:Debug” “/platform:Win32″” exited with code 1.
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I had hoped to see a nice gcc error which I could click to go to the error in my source code.  Is that possible?

Best regards

David

Hi,

Normally VisualGDB should be able to parse the GCC output and show it in the Errors window. Are you using a cross-compiler or compiling directly on the Linux machine?

You have error before GCC compilation begins – ” VisualGDB.exe /build etc.. ” exited with code 1.

try run it from command line. I think it <snip> in solution path can be reason.
