We've just upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and now our build system is failing when running make 2.81 from cygwin to compile and link our C++ libraries.
We parallel build across 6 of the 8 cores available on our development machines (using -j 6) and have had no issues with XP. Now, as soon as we upgraded to Windows 7, we are randomly getting errors like this: make[3]: *** [tmodel/CMakeFiles/tmodel.dir/test.cpp.obj] Error 126 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[2]: *** [tmodel/CMakeFiles/tmodel.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [release] Error 2 Just restarting the make command again will successfully continue where it stopped, until it randomly fails with this error again. It looks to me like make is getting into some kind of contention issue with the target .obj files during the parallel build. Has anyone else experienced this issue and more importantly has anyone figured out how to fix this? Thanks!
