Hi David,
I've noticed that dmake appears to freeze when building the extras
project (no CPU time consumed, just sits there for a long time).
In order to try debug this, I was looking at the command lines of the
various processes by looking at /proc/nnnn/cmdline
This is interesting, what did you do?
$ cat /proc/nnnn/cmdline
?
It is known that cygwin 1.5.18 has "freeze" problems with OOo, there
were several snapshots that solved problems in the process handling.
Did it hang with newer snapshots to?
I had freeze problems with 1.5.18 too, and again, new problems with
20050905. 20050828 worked for me. I'm testing 20050906 now.
Amazingly, this seems to 'unfreeze' dmake and it continues happily...
The cmdline of the process that unfroze it is as follows:
/usr/bin/tcsh -fc find ./ -type d ! -name CVS ! -name "." | sed
"s/\.\/\///" | sed "s/\.\///"
As you are using stock 1.5.18, that freeze (or the next I found, see archives)
had something to do with piping. Thanks for pointing to /proc/nnnn, I completely
forgot that this works :)
This is using the latest standard cygwin (1.5.18) - apparently there are
some issues relating to processes hanging, I thought I'd report this but
not sure if its related
Sure, many thanks for this!
Ause, do you still see the hangs with the newest snapshots in $(shell pws)?
Can you try this trick?
Volker
