qcc/cc Hanging up on me

Hopefully, this is the right group for this question. It’s been a while
since I’ve posted a question…

I have a brand new dell 8600 inspiron with the new 6.3 rtp installed.
Finally got all the drivers situated and really like the new OS. I am doing
some preliminary porting of our system to 6.3 from qnx4. We have makefiles
for all our process and simply call them via command line. I’ve tried the
IDE a couple of times, but am having trouble getting my project to fit in it
properly, but that is not my question.

My question is this… I have been working (developing) just fine for about
2 weeks now. I have not installed any new packages that I am aware of. I
compile my programs with a simple makefile. However, a couple of times now,
qcc/cc hang.

A “pidin” reveals cc is reply blocked and the process just below simply says
(Loading) and is READY.

a simple “qcc -o hello hello.c” causes 2 more entries in the pidin list to
show up, cc or qcc (either one hangs) and the Loading process below it.

The complicate matters, sometimes after i reboot qcc starts to compile
again. But sometimes not.
I have done the standard qnx 6.3 installation.

Is there any config files i need to be looking in?

Also, under 6.2.1 i used to tell qcc -Vgcc_ntox86, the new compiler does not
like that very much.

First a quick guess, do you somewhere restart io-net before this happens? If
so, try ‘slay XPhoton’ and see if that helps :=)

Now, for a more generic solution What process is ‘qcc’ reply blocked too?
(you can see like cc REPLY
lookup processid and see what process it is…

Hi Kevin,

qcc spawns several subprocesses, and te (loading) name means that
somethings is going wrong spawning it.

I don’t know if it’s some specific Dell problem - the hardware guys
might comment.

But you might initially try turing off DMA support (in the boot menu),
since that is sometimes a problem on newer hardware…

Cheers,

Colin
