It fails with the following output:

Hello!

It's not a CLion problem, but a problem with using CMake + MinGW - they don't support non-latin symbols.

To solve the problem please do the following:

  1. Create temp folder in location which path doesn't include non-latin symbols (for example, C:\tmp).
  2. In CLion menu do Help | Edit Custom VM options....
  3. In the opened file add this line: -Djava.io.tmpdir=<path_to_temp_folder> (for example, -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:/tmp).
  4. In the menu do File | Save All.
  5. Restart CLion.

Also if path to your project contains non-latin symbols, please move the CMake generation directory to a path that doesn't contain such characters (either via File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | CMake | Generation path, or just put the project itself to other location).

@Houssam Tamesna, if you faced the same problem with non-latin symbols, you need to fulfil two points from my previous comment:

  1. Set -Djava.io.tmpdir to the path which doesn't include non-latin symbols (the instruction is in the comment).
  2. If the path to your project contains non-latin symbols, you should move the CMake generation directory to a path that doesn't contain such characters (either via File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | CMake | Generation path, or just put the project itself to other location).

Or you can simply use Cygwin instead of MinGW.

Hi,Anna.I hava the same problem,and i followed your method to set several times.But problem still existses.In addition,i think that my problem is not caused by non-latin symbols because i had created 6 C language learning projects successfully in my project directory,they could be compilered and run well.since i create 7th project,Cmake began to occur this problem,strangely,other project still could work.I unload and reload Clion and MinGW,a annoying happend all of C program could not be run ,Cmake reports errors for all.Is there others better solutions？
