I have loaded and tried using WinARM. Whenever I try a clean, it will only clean a few files and then hangs. I stop the tools and restart, it get a bit further and then hangs. Eventually I get through all the files and build. Same thing with the build. When I try restarting my computer, all the stop tools tasks are still running and must the haulted one by one. Any thoughts?

Hi Michael, your description isn't detailed enough for a purposeful help. Can you give us more, such as - your target - the Makefile and so on Regards, Karsten
All I'm trying to do is verify that WinARM is functioning properly. This is just using one of the example files supplied with WinARM. The source is rs232_stdio.c, the make file is the same one supplied with the example. The make program being used is from Winarm/utils/bin. When I do a '[WinARM_G] Make Clean' from the tools dropdown in PN (programmers notepad) the clean will run partially down it's list - ------------- (from makefile) clean_list : @echo @echo $(MSG_CLEANING) $(REMOVE) $(TARGET).hex $(REMOVE) $(TARGET).obj $(REMOVE) $(TARGET).elf $(REMOVE) $(TARGET).map $(REMOVE) $(TARGET).obj $(REMOVE) $(TARGET).a90 $(REMOVE) $(TARGET).sym $(REMOVE) $(TARGET).lnk $(REMOVE) $(TARGET).lss $(REMOVE) $(OBJ) $(REMOVE) $(AOBJ) $(REMOVE) $(OBJARM) $(REMOVE) $(AOBJARM) $(REMOVE) $(LST) $(REMOVE) $(SRC:.c=.s) $(REMOVE) $(SRC:.c=.d) $(REMOVE) .dep/* ---------- and then hang. If I stop the tools, again from the tools drop down in PN, and restart the clean eventually I will complete the clean list, usually three to four tries. If I try to do a build all I get the same things. Now all the instances of the make utility are still running, as whenever I shut down my pc, I have to manually end each instance before shut down.

I have not seen this issue before and have not bug-reports about this. Have you tried "make all" and "make clean" from the commad-line? Are you using the "updated utilities" for WinARM 1/06, the "original" 1/06 or the current "testing"-Version? Which MS-Windows version are you using? Martin Thomas

If you give me your email address I can send you a PDF of the screen shot for the error.

Please get the "updated utilites" archive for WinARM 1/06 (link in the small text below the main download). Replace utils/bin with the files in the update-archive and test again. You can also try the current WinARM "testing-version" which already includes the newer mingw-utilities. Try the "make clean" with the updates utilities. Can you delete the files "manualy" form the command-line with "del"? My e-mail adresses are not hidden (bottom of WinARM/arm-projects page, readme.htm). Martin Thomas
Good catch Martin, that seems to have taken care of the hang ups. What exactly is different with the other utilities?

The "other" utitlites are a complete new set of make, sh etc. I have collected the old tools for the first WinARM in the intention to get an dll-free distribution. But these tools are rather old and it seems that the Win32-zsh (sh.exe) does not work for everybody. I can not reproduce the problems here but found that the tools from the mingw-project solved to problem for those uses who reported a "file not found"-issue. Your "delete"-problem has never been reported before. Drawback of the new utilities is that there is now an additional dll in the system-search-path which may cause side-effects. But it seems that the mingw-dll is not as problematic as the cygwin-dll. Eric Weddington who creates WinAVR also uses the mingw-tools and as far as I can see from the feedbacks in mailing-lists and the avrfreaks-forum there are no problems with these tools. So I followed his method. The updated utilities are available for the current and previous WinARM collection - but should be usable with all WinARM-versions. In the current testing and the upcoming gcc 4.1.0-based WinARM the mingw-tools will be the default. Martin Thomas
I spoke a little too soon. I did get a make to hang like before, just once. It is a 500% improvement. Where I might have gotten an error 70% of the time, now is is only about 5%. Still better though.
