CDT hangs invoking build command [message #62154]

I am using CDT 1.0 and Eclipse 2.01. I have found that if I set the
Include environment variable or the Lib environment variable to point to
my Microsoft compiler directories, CDT hangs invoking the build command
and I have to kill eclipse through the task manager.

I know I can sort this out within a make file to reference them but I
was wondering if this was expected behaviour or unexpected behaviour ?

Dave,
I have not seen that kind of behaviour related to INCLUDE and LIB. I was
having a similar problem but it was related to my PATH. All I did was
create a batch file to set the PATH var to contain only the path to my
Cygwin stuff then 'start'ed Eclipse. I left everything else in my
environment alone. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the GCC wrappers
ignore the INCLUDE and LIB environment variables anyway.

Actually, let me a be a bit more specific. I make sure my Cygwin stuff
appears *first* in my PATH, i.e.

@echo off
set PATH=<drive>:\Cygwin\bin;<drive>:\Cygwin\usr\local\bin;%PATH%
start eclipse

This was sufficient for me.

I have come across another hang, this time it appeared to be the size of the
project name, again the hang would occur when invoking the build command.

Another hang occurred trying to rename a project to a larger project name,
this caused my workspace metadata to get out of sync this time which was a bit
of a pain.

I would try to recreate it and raise a defect but I have it working at the
moment and
don't want to break anything. Seems there are more circumstances where the
problem occurs. I wonder if it might be related to their win32 mechanism for
launching external programs ?

We are currently having the same Invoking CDT Hang during the build of our workspace. So far We have tried:

*Erasing all C++/C Development Tools and re-adding them
*Using a different workspace
*sitting and waiting for it to pass that point
*cleaning the workspace
*different computers
and *just building the project

so far none of this has woked. Please help we are high schoolers participating in a FRC Off Season Competion in two days. We have searched every where. Our programming skills arent that extinsive.

Thank You

Hello Lauren,

Sadly there is not enough information here to help you. You are almost certainly not having the identical problem as the thread you are replying to as that was from 2003 and CDT has changed extensively since then.

Here are some questions that need answering to help you better:

Can you build a simple Hello World project?
Which version of Eclipse/CDT are you using?
What does "hang" mean, when does it hang? Does the UI become unresponsive, or just the the build never finishes?
What kind of computer are you using (Windows/Mac/Linux)

Jonah
