Release mode build goes into la la land

by Jeff Leigh · in Torque Game Engine · 05/20/2004 (4:03 am) · 5 replies

Got something bizarre happening here and wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

If I try to create a Release build of my project when VS.NET gets to the "linking" step it goes off in to never-never land and doesn't complete. I have to Ctrl-Break out of the build.

A Debug build creates and runs fine.

Any ideas?

How long have you left if for before you stopped the build? It can take a while if you have a slow PC

It happened the same to me a few days ago, and I'm working on a 2.8Gh P4! :m

I hadn't left it to completion previously because I was frustrated with it but I did finally let it run to completion and it took about 15 minutes. It's never taken more than a minute in previous builds (I have a 3ghz machine with a gig of RAM).

I haven't changed anything in code that would account for that drastic of a change in build time.

I haven't changed any build configuration settings either.

It's very strange, and only on a Release build still...

If you aren't linking incrementally, try it and see what happens.

Don't remember ever changing it, but it wasn't set to incremental.

Must have been an increMENTAL block.

Thanks for getting me past it Joshua.
