Hi,
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 ?
Not in the new gbuildified modules. Best to use a self-baked make 3.82,
available from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/make/
Check if the breaks occur in dmake'd modules or in gbuild'ed modules,
the easily identifiable difference is that in gbuild modules there are
Module_*.mk files in the modules' roots.
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.
There may be some issues with make 3.82 in cygwin, give it a try.
Now I've compiled version 3.82 and will give it a try. This information
would be woth a mention within the building guide.
btw. I wonder about the low CPU load during compile job (max. 50%).
Is there a way to allow dmake to parallelize compile jobs ?
cd instsetoo_native&& build --all -P3 -- -P2
for example creates 3 build processe in different directories, each
spawning a dmake with 2 parallel targets, so up to 6 jobs.
Thank you Eike and Mathias for providing this information. I should have
read the building guide more carefully. I just stopped reading before
the section about parallel builds...
