Hi Mathias,
After starting the build process on my Win7 64bit notebook (dual core
Intel 2.8 Ghz with 8 GB memory) it quite often stopped but rebuilding
went always fine (until now; I'm still compiling binfilter). I thought
it might be useful to implement a watchdog process watching
stderr/stdout that restarts dmake as soon as the build breaks but it
needs to interpret the error thrown.
Probably you have been hit by the well-known bug in GNU Make 3.81 that
lets it core-dump at times. This needs to be solved, the developers of
Libre Office have gained some experience with that.
GNU Make 3.8.1 is installed on my machine but I thought that dmake is
always used instead ?
Documentation at
http://ooo-wiki.apache.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Windows
was really helpful despite I had to disable ATL
If you used VC Express: IIRC the documentation mentions that this is
necessary in that case.
Yes it is MSVC++ Express 2008 using Cygwin.
btw. I wonder about the low CPU load during compile job (max. 50%). Is
there a way to allow dmake to parallelize compile jobs ?
Greetings, Joost
