Re: [Seed7-users] Windows installation program aborting

[Thomas M. <tho...@gm...>]

Hi Simon,

I just used seed7_05_20231217_win.exe on my Windows 11 laptop to
"Download and install the latest version" (2024-06-30).
It "worked for me" ...
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce your problem.

I need more information to investigating your problem.

- Do you use a 64-bit or a 32-bit version of Windows?
- The Seed7 installer can
- Download the latest version from the internet.
- Use a manually downloaded Seed7 archive (seed7_05_<date>.tgz).
- Install the packaged version (for seed7_05_20231217_win.exe this is seed7_05_20231217.tgz).
Which option did you choose?
- After writing "This may take some time" it writes dots for each successful step.
How many dots appeared before it aborted?
- Are files with the extension .o in the C:\Seed7\src directory?
- Is the number of *.o files in C:\Seed7\src approximately the same as the number of *.c files there?
- Are files with the extension .a in the C:\Seed7\bin directory?
If yes, which ones?
- Are you sure there is enough space on the hard disk?
- Do you have gcc (The Gnu C compiler) installed?
An already installed gcc and the gcc from Seed7 are totally separated.
They should not affect each other. But I might have overseen something.
- Do you have gdb.exe (The GNU debugger) installed on your computer?
It can be downloaded from the MinGW project.
If gdb is available you could run seed7_05_20231217_win.exe in gdb and
hopefully it tells you the reason of the abort.

With more information I hope to be able to help you.

Thomas
