I’m trying VEXcode with my laoptop(Win8.1 OS) today and got an error at the first step, I opened a sample program(nothing changed)and click on the biuld button, then I got error message as below screenshot:
It can’t create the directory build/src, I uninstalled VEXcode and reinstall it again, build the program, got the same error still. Then I switched to another laptop(Win10 OS), do the same operation, it can build the program successfully.
Not sure if this is only my laptop issue, or a VEXcode bug with Win8.1.
Any suggestion?

Create a folder in your project folder called build. It should work after you do this.

Yes, it works! Thanks! though I have to create a build folder whenever create a new project:joy:
It’s a known bug when you have perhaps other unix like tools installed on the PC, we should have this fixed in the next preview due out next week.

I did this and I still get the same error. Does anything have to be in the folder?

Are you on vexcode preview 2

Yes the building error was fixed in it. Preview 1 projects still have the issue but if you copy over your code it should fix your error.
I wrote the code while in preview 2.

Have you tried making a new project and copying over the code?
Yes I have. I added the empty build file, but once I tried building it, it removed the folder from the project folder

Hmm interesting @jpearman any ideas?
does anything go inside the build folder?
if you could try the following.
create a new project
edit the makefile and set VERBOSE=1
# VEXcode makefile 2019_03_26_01
# show compiler output
VERBOSE = 1
click build
cut&paste the contents of the output window into this topic. It should look something like this.

I’m not sure which issue you’re referring to… also this is a year old thread, please start a new one if you’re running into issues.
