#26 VC++ linker let the system stand still (Win2k) + Bugfix

[Sven Olufs]

Hi,

i figured out a problem with the MSVC
Linker "Linker.exe"... I
got the problem that the "Linker.exe" blocks ANT when
the
system is "fetching" the Version of the Linker.. -> The
system stand still (but Control-C helps ;-)

I found out that the call "link.exe /bogus" let at stand
still
(fetching the Version); I guess there is no /version
command
in LINK.EXE; But i found out, if i change the the
LINKER.EXE /bogus to LINKER.EXE /DLL then it work
(/bogus is a unkown command, /DLL not -> it case a
error
and the ant run on)

Here is my correced code (CVS Checkout about 1 Hour)

file:DevStudioLinker.java
[...]

public final class DevStudioLinker extends
DevStudioCompatibleLinker
{

[..]
private DevStudioLinker(String outputSuffix)
{
super("link", "/DLL", outputSuffix);
}
[..]

I would be gald if you could check this in, and bring out
a
HOTFIX release...

System: Win2K, MSVC6, trying to build a DLL.... same
xml
File works fine on XP MSVC6

I haven't observed the lock, but the change appears to be
unlikely to make things worse.
