The codelite program creates makefile not designed for windows. My solution with codelite was as follows:

  1. install git. The installer has to add path git/bin into PATH. This is where sh.exe is located.
  2. In codelite "build settings" for the desired compiler, replace "SHELL=cmd.exe" with "SHELL=sh.exe" in the Make parameter.
  3. set "Makefile Generator" to "CodeLite Makefile Generator - UNIX" in the project settings.

Works great for console application projects, codelite 15.0.6, windows 7 x64 pro.
