I am trying to automate CVI2017 builds using the command line. The help at this link is descriptive enough: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370051AG-01/cvi/usermanual/cmdlineinterface/
However, when I invoke the compiler, "compile.exe", the process never responds (20+ minutes of running time).
I have CVI2012 and figured I would give that a shot. When invoking its compile.exe it takes 1-2 minutes to display the help message. Even this is unacceptable.
Note that the builds in the CVI2012 and CVI2017 IDEs are perfectly responsive.
Things I've tried:
- Invoke the compiler by using the full path ("C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\CVI2017\compile.exe")
- Invoke the compiler by changing into the CVI2017 folder ("C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\CVI2017") and run "compile.exe"
- Put CVI install directory and its bin in the PATH
- Ensure product is licensed (my organization has a license server)
What could be wrong? What other steps can I take to debug my situation?
