How can I solve this compiling error on CLion?

I use as the main directory one called CLionProjects, on it I have several directories. Recently I added those directories so to organize my files. I used since the first time I installed CLion a directory called "Boletin1" that it's inside the main directory, later when I created "Boletin2" (In these directories I have the projects called Ejercicio1, Ejercicio2 and so on) the problems started showing up, I get this error message: I got to make clear that the compiler problem is only on "Boletin2" directory and the one called "Boletin1" works alright.

I type the debug:

"C:\Program Files\JetBrains\Nueva carpeta\CLion 2020.2.3\bin\cmake\win\bin\cmake.exe" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -G "CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles" C:\Users\usuario\Desktop\CLionProjects\Boletín2\Ejercicio1

  It fails with the following output:

Thanks 4 the support or even reading this.

Solution

  • Try to rename your directory to Boletin1 and Boletin2
    REMOVE ALL ACCENTS and write it with the boring i letter, even if the spelling is then wrong in your language.
    This is an encoding problem and it occurs because in this case you have 3 programs (here cmake, gcc.exe and mingw64-make.exe) that parse the same character with different results (which are Bolet�n2, Bolet├¡n2 and Boletín2).
    You might also have to reset clion's cache and/or remove projects from the IDE and re-import them. It may have kept some path in cache and might try to feed them to cmake.
