Linker error in Codelite with MinGW-w64
I'm trying to use MinGW-W64 instead of MinGW in Codelite. When I compile simple "hello, world" project it's all right. But when I try to link some libraries, I get a strange linker error. Project with exactly same settings compiles by MinGW with any problems. There are build output for both variants:
MinGW GCC 4.8.1

Answer
This looks like a bug in your toolchain and not in CodeLite.
There is a space between the "@code.text" and -L./lib and for some reason g++ does not see it...
I put my money on the mingw32-make tool. You can tell CodeLite to use the mingw32-make.exe from the 4.8.1 version (which worked): settings->build settings->compilers->[YOUR COMPILER NAME]->Make
Another option is to disable the option that tells CodeLite to generate Makefile that passes the object list via file to the compiler:
Settings->Build Settings->compilers->[YOUR COMPILER NAME]->Advanced tab and uncheck the option: pass object list to the linker via file
