Solved MinGW Issue with Compiling on Windows

[sandro4912]

Ok this is a strange one. I have a project i could compile on linux and windows.

Now on Windows it never compiles anymore. It looks like theres some kind of loop happening.

Here is the compile output:

Hi,

Check the timestamps on your files.

One other thing you can do is nuke the build folder and restart the build.

Somehow even deleting the build folder and deleting the pro user file did not solve the issue.

I solved the issue by adding all the files from the project into a new one. Then it worked again.
