	If it works fine building from command line, it is either a problem with your project, Code::Blocks' setup, or possibly an actual bug. When posting this problem, include the name of your compiler, operating system, Code::Blocks version, compiler log (go to ''Settings->Compiler and debugger...->Build options (tab)'' and check ''Save build log'' and ''Always output the full command line''), and, if it caused Code::Blocks to crash, the <tt>codeblocks.RPT</tt> file (located in the Code::Blocks installation directory).

This file is located in the Code::Blocks installation directory if it is writable, and in the config directory if it is not. On MSW you can open the config directory pressing Windows+R and writing "%appdata%\CodeBlocks" in the edit box.
