WindRiver lockup/freeze on compile
 

Did not affect us in 2009, but our updated 2010 WindRiver compilation process locks up in a wait state when processing the MakeFile. The offending command is the piping through tclsh for that generated C file. It creates the file OK, but then fails to move on. Googling turns up a known problem with the Cat'ing of the pipe into tclsh and the termination of tclsh once the redirection is performed. If I look at taskmanager, tclsh is still running (blocked) and so the compile process cannot continue. Terminating the process does nothing (it does not respond to termination events - interesting) so the compile never completes.

I have removed the entry in the makefile script line just to prove this is the issue and behold it compiles. I know this will come back to bite us as I am sure the generated C file is ultra important.

This has to be unique to us as it would halt everyone running WindRiver but - anyone else seen this behavior? The last compile process output is 'Building <your projectname>.out' then nothing more than a stalled compile process.

I notice the WindRiver update on the usfirst.org site and I will have to check if that has been applied.

Cheers!

New machine, new install, no problem ... has to go into the 'memories' bin.

Well, did you run the updater?

Weirdest thing happened to ours. After some troubles with no code, we finally fixed our problems and were download and running code. And then from what seems like out of the blue, the compiler started to hang at 52%, no matter what we do. Which was weird being that on the same instance of windriver, we had only like 30 minutes before compiled and downloaded working code to our robot. And after 2 fresh installs, updates and all, it still hangs at 52%.

What OS are you running?

Re: WindRiver lockup/freeze on compile
 

Vista home.

Update- We simply reloaded the simple template and added our own code back in. It magically compiled again.
