Windriver build issue

When we run a build even with the SimpleRobot example it never seems to finish building. I've given it as long as an hour and nothing new happened.  No errors, no crashes. The thermometer bar just keeps cycling. Can anyone help me fix this? How long should this take?

Can you post the text contents of your Build Consol.  This might give us some ideas what it might be hanging on.  I quickly build the default SimpleTemplate in Wind River by right clicking inside the Project Explorer windows and selecting Build Project.  Here are the results in my Build Console:

Build Started in Project 'SimpleTemplate':   2009-01-30 09:32:44
Generation of makefiles started.
Generation of makefiles finished (Elapsed Time: 00:00).
Platform: Wind River VxWorks 6.3
Command: make --no-print-directory BUILD_SPEC=PPC603gnu DEBUG_MODE=1 TRACE=1
Working Directory: C:/WindRiver/SimpleTemplate/PPC603gnu
make: built targets of C:/WindRiver/SimpleTemplate/PPC603gnu
Build Finished in Project 'SimpleTemplate':   2009-01-30 09:32:45   (Elapsed Time: 00:01)

Cheers,

At this point, none of the projects are building and creating their necessary .out files (as well as other necessary files) which is preventing us from sending any code into the robot.

Here's our build console log as of last build (this is just a test project but it still exhibits the same problem):

The last two entries in the log are created when I cancel the build process (which is unresponsive).  Help would be much appreciated.

Stimpy,

Have you ever been able to build any projects or has this behavior cropped up recently?

Did you perform a default install or did you perform a custom install or Wind River?

Was any part of the Wind River install on a hard drive that is not the C drive?

Have you installed any of the updates for Wind River?

Have you attempted any repairs or reinstalls of Wind River?  Would it be a possibility to attempt one of these?

1.  Yes. We have been able to build with WR until recently (this problem has only occurred on one of our laptops right now...but it is our main programmer's laptop).

2.  We performed the default installation.

3.  No. All installation was on the C: drive.

4.  Yes.  We have installed all the RW updates (however, the problem occurred prior to installing the latest update 1-29-09, but we did update on friday...still no success).

5.  We have attempted a reinstall...will try a repair.

But...any other possible solutions would be really helpful!

Thanks!

Did you have any success with the repair?
