RE: Problems with parallel make in base 7.0.1.1 on Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017 when HOST_OP=NO

[Mark Rivers <rivers@cars.uchicago.edu>]

Hi Andrew,

 

I can fix this issue on Visual Studio 2015 (and presumably 2017) by changing CONFIG_SITE.Common.windows-x64-static to add the /FS flag when compiling for debug.

 

# Temporarily enable debugging

HOST_OPT = NO

OPT_CFLAGS_NO += /FS

OPT_CXXFLAGS_NO += /FS

 

However, that generates an error if using Visual Studio 2010.

 

H:\epics-devel\base-7.0.1>make -sj8

cl : Command line error D8021 : invalid numeric argument '/FS'

cl : Command line error D8021 : invalid numeric argument '/FS'

cl : Command line error D8021 : invalid numeric argument '/FS'

 

So we need a way to add the /FS flag to OPT_C[XX]FLAGS_NO only for Visual Studio 2013 and later (that is where MSDN indicates the /FS flag was added).

Hi Andrew,

 

I am trying to build base 7.0.1.1 with the following configuration:

 

-          windows-x64-static architecture 

-          CONFIG_SITE.Common.windows-x64-static contains HOST_OPT=NO to enable debugging.  Note that there is a windows-x64-debug architecture in base, but there is no windows-x64-static-debug, so I just changed the CONFIG_SITE file.

-          Parallel make (make –sj8)

 

The above settings work OK for Visual Studio 2010, but they fail with Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017.  If I remove the HOST_OPT=NO then this problem does not occur.

 

Here is the output for Visual Studio 2015.

 

H:\epics-devel\base-7.0.1>make -sj clean
