I'm currently taking up a course in COBOL and recently I have only been using an online compiler. When I decided to install the OpenCOBOL IDE. I keep getting the error "cobc: Invalid argument" whenever i try to compile. I tried multiple re-installs still to no avail. I also tried installing just the compiler itself and compiling my files using cmd, but still it gives that error. Any help? I really need to get it working.
OS: Windows 8.1 64-bit
You need an "-x" option to tell the compiler build an executable with the same name as the program source (but without the .cbl or a "-o progname" option to tell the compile to produce an executable named progname.
I downloaded bitcloud, the atmel zigbee stack and I am trying to compile one of the default applications, ZLLDemo.
It is located currently at:
C:\Users\Ryan\Desktop\BitCloud_MEGARF_3_1_0\Applications\ZLLDemo\atmelStudio_projects\ATmega256RFR2.cproj
Everytime I try to compile the application I get a windows message screen for "mkdir.exe" error 0xc0000142. In the Output screen I see the line "make: *** [directories] Error -1073741502"
This same error and error code occurs later in the build process for cp.exe if I manually make the folders myself.
I have tried the following things to fix the error:
Change folder and contents to different owners, everyone having full
privileges
run make command manually from a command prompt window as admin
clean solution before retrying
all other examples files
ran directly from C: as "C:\BitCloud_MEGARF_3_1_0\Applications\ZLLDemo\atmelStudio_projects\ATmega256RFR2.cproj" - as per general suggestion for the windows error I tried
"sfc /scannow" in case mkdir had somehow been corrupted
Changed AppInitDLLs Reg key to 0 to load all DLLs at start of application
Disabled Internet security
Does this have a general fix or is there perhaps something else at work here? General compilations work, its just external ones. My friend did the same and it seems to work just fine for him.

Avrfreaks had a solution that I finally found here.
Their solution is to download an old version of the msys file for winavr. Which means that their is something more than likely wrong with the latest version of winavr for windows 8.1

Copy this file:

to utils\bin directory (WinAVR)
I have been using MinGW and the GNU Fortran compiler for a while in order to compile Fortran programs on Windows, which has always been a successful method. However, I have been getting the following error for the past 4 days:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
The error only happens when running applications that I wrote myself, and that I compiled using the MinGW/gfortran combo. When compiling using Visual Studio and iFort, I have no problem running the applications. The error seems retroactive: applications that were compiled using gfortran a long time ago and ran perfectly until now also break, even though I didn't recompile them. This leads me to think that it is a dynamic library problem. Online searches show that it probably is a compatibility problem between a 64-bit dll and a 32-bit application
I am using Windows 7. One of the latest things I remember doing before starting to get the problem was trying to update MinGW ; I used the mingw-get update and mingw-get upgrade command lines.
After looking around online, I have tried the following fixes:
- reinstalled the Visual C++ Runtime Environment
- reinstalled the .NET framework
- downloaded and replaced a bunch of .dlls like mscvr100.dll, mscvr100d.dll, etc...
- uninstalled and reinstalled MinGW in order to make sure I had the latest gcc version
- run Dependency Walker on a simple application ("Hello World!" type program)
Dependency Walker tells me that a number of .dlls cannot be found (full list: API-MS-WIN-APPMODEL-RUNTIME-L1-1-0.DLL, API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ERROR-L1-1-0.DLL, API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-L1-1-0.DLL, API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-ROBUFFER-L1-1-0.DLL, API-MS-WIN-CORE-WINRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL, API-MS-WIN-SHCORE-SCALING-L1-1-1.DLL, DCOMP.DLL, GPSVC.DLL, IESHIMS.DLL).
It also highlights in red the libquadmath-0.dll (on which libgfortran-3.dll seems to depend). Indeed, it seems that libquadmath-0.dll is a 64-bit DLL in the middle of a 32-bit program. When opening said .dll with Dependency Walker, I can see that all the modules in this library are x86 except the library itself which is x64 (CPU column of DW). I am not exactly sure how this is possible / how to fix it. The library is found in the Python/Anaconda folder (I installed Python and Anaconda a few weeks ago, the problem did NOT appear at that time).
If anybody has an idea of how to get my environment to work again without reinstalling Windows, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!!
I had a similar problem. Looking at Dependency Walker I wasn't loading API-MS-WIN-CORE entries. However, when I went to edit my path it turned out that by bin folder wasn't on the path. Adding, in my case the mingw64 bin folder to the path fixed this issue for me. I only mention the API-MS-WIN-CORE entries since I thought it might be the problem, but in reality it wasn't causing my issue.
I was getting this same error code, and used Dependency Walker to discover that, in my case, the 64-bit version of libwinpthread-1.dll was not being found. This helped me resolve my issue.
So, the solution is to determine the missing dll, track it down on your system and reference its location in your path variable, or find out how to install it if you don't have it.
That said, I also came across the following caveat that's important to know about when using Dependency Walker. It's currently out of date and will actually show false results for WIN-CORE dlls: https://stackoverflow.com/a/36244483/4438237
To work around this, there's a newer program called Dependencies by lucasg, that properly interprets these and won't mistakenly tell you about these falsely missing dlls.
I was getting same Error, as mentioned in above answers the problem is "path not being set" aside from setting path you can alternatively Do this; if u don't want to set the path for some reason:
Open CMD
cd C:\MinGW\bin to navigate to the bin directory of mingw
now u can compile the code as following Gcc (dir of ur .c file) -o (ur output dir) for ex : gcc I:\dir\Hello.c -o I:\dir\output.exe
alternatively if u want to automate the process u can make a batch file to automatically do it for you.
here's the batch file if anyone needs it
#echo off
C:
cd \MinGW\bin\
gcc I:\dir\*.c -o "I:\dir\Output.exe" Rem Replace "dir" with your own directory and * with ur own FileName!
pause
I had a similar error but over came it by editing my environment variables.
I had g77 as part of my path variables and by removing it and leaving gfortran alone, the error disappeared
I was on Windows 10 using cmake-gui to generate a MinGW-w64 project and meet same problem.
My solution: go to start windows, search and open MinGW-w64 terminal, then in terminal call cmake with specifiying cmake options.
Yes the old posts got it right. It is the environmental parameters messed up. I got the same error. It is solved by putting the msys64 path to the first:
Path=c:\msys64\mingw64\bin;%PATH%
The msys64 path was the last, now it is the first. Type it once at the command line after Windows started, or edit the Path environmental parameter if you have the admin right.
I'm trying to get input from an xbox controller, I went to this page:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/26949/Xbox-360-Controller-Input-in-C-with-XInput
and I'm just test running his source, good thing I did because it found an error:
C:\Users\me;)\Desktop\XBOX360Test\XBOX360Test\CXBOXController.h|9|fatal error: Xinput.h: No such file or directory|
Can I don't know what the issue is, doesn't Xinput ship with windows?
I'm late I know, but I get the same error.
Opening the project in Visual Studio works fine, but compiling with gcc doesn't. Seems like the compiler of VS knows more than gcc and you need to compile it with that one. Here's how:

I have a Qt project which uses libqxt. How do I compile it for Windows?
Edit
Ok, I compiled it, and it's installed in "C:\Qxt\", but when I try to build my project it still fails with error
..\qlocate\mainwindow.cpp:13:29: error: QxtGlobalShortcut: No such file or directory
I assume I should change the include paths of Qt Creator, but how do I do that?
there's a problem with the headers. Read the complete guide to fixing it here:
http://qt-project.org/wiki/LibQxt_in_QtCreator
just download it from
http://dev.libqxt.org/libqxt/wiki/user_guide
and run configure.bat
