ld.exe cannot find ... permission denied (CB 16.01)

Hi,
compiling an SFML template produces some hard-to-fix errors. Judging by them, I think it's CB's fault, not SFML's.

not c::b fault, but probably anti virus blocking the linker? Disable anti virus and try again...

That is possible; but, I am thinking user error.

Why are these in the build log?

I suggest removing them! Note: Keep the ones prefixed with -I or -L
Edit: This means keep the search paths; get rid of the extra spots.

Been there, done that.


@stahta01 you really thought I was falling for this ? Think again. This produces "cannot find" errors.

Think again and read what you quoted:

D:/Programs/CodeBlocks/MinGW/bin/../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.9.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find D:\Programs\CodeBlocks\SFML\lib: Permission denied

I just tried it on win10, the access denied error is exactly what you get (on windows), if you try to link to a folder (as you do).
