It's a hardware problem: http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/ | When the "make" stops, simply type "make" again. | If it compiles a few more files before stopping, it | must be hardware that is causing you troubles. That page goes on to explain why gcc is especially vulnerable to marginal hardware. I've had exactly the same problem. I have an athlon with msw 2000 that does this all the time, and it has happened when compiling wx as well as other stuff. Sometimes I can restart make, and it fails elsewhere. Sometimes I get the Blue Screen of Death. > It works fine with Windows XP. And I have a pentium with msw xp that has never had the problem. It's not 2000 versus xp, or even amd versus intel. My old computer is just flaky. I cleaned out the dust and reseated the cards. I swapped RAM. I replaced the entire motherboard. I jumpered it to slow down the bus and the cpu. The problem persists. It's generally worse in warm, humid weather, but it's not stable in February either. It'll run for weeks sometimes if I don't use gcc. Occasionally, it crashes when running another program, but gcc is the severest test. Sorry, but I believe you have the same problem, and the only sure solution is to replace the computer, preferably with a different model. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.

From what I was able to gather, it is, as you said, almost always a hardware problem, and is often bad memory. I saw some indications that it's often the cache that's the culprit. I turned the cache off and so far, haven't had any more problems with Sig 11. |
