Compiler error -230

I'm developing a CPP library for a LPC1768, that doesn't compile. I get the following message: 'Error: The build system did not finish successfully', with no references.

I could isolate the problem. It starts as soon as I add/uncomment the following, which looks like it fails if I use fread/fwrite:

fread(&this->buffer[this->index++], sizeof(uint8_t), 1, &this->handle);

or

result += fwrite(&start, sizeof(uint32_t), 1, &this->handle);
result += fwrite(&frame->flags, sizeof(uint16_t), 1, &this->handle);
result += fwrite(&frame->length, sizeof(uint16_t), 1, &this->handle);
result += fwrite(&checksumHeader, sizeof(uint8_t), 1, &this->handle);

I tried to move it to another (new) project, without luck. If I introduce a syntax/checker error, it will point at the error as expected. That makes me believe the rest of the code is fine.

Can I find a full build log somewhere?

Edit:

As I tried to make an example with the lines commented, I fixed it due to an error in the example code. Changing my library code from

TinyLink::TinyLink(FILE& _handle, uint8_t* _buffer, size_t _length) : handle(_handle), buffer(_buffer) 

into

TinyLink::TinyLink(FILE* _handle, uint8_t* _buffer, size_t _length) : handle(_handle), buffer(_buffer) 

solved it all (of course, I updated the rest of the code (e.g. &this->handle into this->handle), but this is the important part). Still I don't know why I got such a vague error message.
