code::blocks no longer giving any useful errors

[Pentarctagon]

I'm using Code:Blocks 12.11 on windows 7, with the built-in MinGW compiler. When I try and compile a program that has an error in it (misnamed variable, missing include, extra semi-colon somewhere, anything) instead of saying something about what went wrong it just has this:

Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings (0 minutes, 0 seconds)

Which is not particularly useful for debugging.

Did you check your flags? And what kind of program did you use to test the compiler's error checking?

[JLBorges]

Do you have more than one 'project' open? If so, which is the 'active' project?

If you can't figure that out, Menu => File => Close all Projects. And reopen the project you are currently working on.

@Daleth: I'm using the default flags (haven't added or removed any) which are -Wall, -O2, and -s. I could post the program if you want, but it happens with any C++ program I try.

@JLBorges: No, I only have one project open at a time.

Additional info - If I tell it to run code::blocks when the installer asks, it will give warnings/errors as usual. However, closing it and reopening will cause it to start only displaying the error in my first post.

Menu => Settings => Compiler => (tab) Other Settings
Choose: Full command line.

Rebuild. What is the build output that you get?

[Pentarctagon]

It was already set to full command line. The output from the Build Log tab:

-------------- Build: Release in binary (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler)---------------

g++.exe -Wall  -O2     -c C:\Users\Standard\Documents\codeblocks\binary\main.cpp -o C:\Users\Standard\Documents\codeblocks\binary\.objs\main.o
g++.exe  -o binary.exe C:\Users\Standard\Documents\codeblocks\binary\.objs\main.o   -s  
Process terminated with status 1 (0 minutes, 0 seconds)
0 errors, 0 warnings (0 minutes, 0 seconds)

[JLBorges]

Is this the source file? C:\Users\Standard\Documents\codeblocks\binary\main.cpp

Is C:\Users\Standard\Documents\codeblocks\binary\.objs\main.o created if you delete it and then rebuild?

[Pentarctagon]

Yes.

No.

[JLBorges]

Are you able to compile a file from the command line?

(cd to the MinGw bin directory and invoke g++ from there)

[Pentarctagon]

I can compile when there are no errors like normal, its when there is an error that it gives no useful error/warning messages

[JLBorges]

Ok, I'm at a loss here.

Hopefully, someone who uses CodeBlocks on a regular basis will take a look at this thread and identify the problem.
