I'm encountering an issue in Code::Blocks where attempting to build C++ code results in the error message "Error: id returned 5 exit status," even when there are no syntax errors present in the code. Here's an example:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout<<"hello world";
}
Even for this simple code snippet, the same error occurs. The full "rebuild all" log is here

I've tried various troubleshooting steps such as granting full control permissions to the entire Code::Blocks folder for all users and temporarily disabling my antivirus software. However, none of these solutions resolved the issue.
Interestingly, I discovered that running Code::Blocks as an administrator and then using the file manager to navigate to the .cpp file, followed by building and running the code, works fine. However, this workaround doesn't apply when opening a project that includes external libraries.
I'm using the default GNU GCC compiler in Code::Blocks.
Initially, I attempted to resolve the issue by granting full control permissions to the entire Code::Blocks folder for all users and temporarily disabling my antivirus software. However, these efforts did not resolve the error. My expectation was that these troubleshooting steps would rectify the issue and allow me to build C++ code without encountering the "Error: id returned 5 exit status" message.
I appreciate any suggestions or insights on how to resolve this issue. Thank you!

You are trying to statically link a DLL (glu32.dll). You cannot do that, and your "simple code snippet" does not need OpenGL in any event.
Moreover you cannot normally statically link code built using a different incompatible toolchain. If you do need to link the OpenGL Utility library in your code, you should link the MinGW provided export library with the command line switch -lglu32. That will cause the appropriate Windows provided DLL to be loaded at runtime. The linker will look in various places to find the export library - all those places specified by -L <path> switches in the "verbose" log. That will work for OS provided DLLs. If you add third-party libraries you will need to add your own -L <path> switches (there will be a place for that in the IDE rather then specifying them directly nod doubt).
You should not try to link a specific DLL path - and using a relative path is bound to fail at some time, it rather assumes that your project will always be in the same place relative to the DLL.
Linking the OpenGL Utility library on its own with no other OpenGL support probably won't be useful either - but that is a different issue.
