Hi,
I have fresh installations of C::B with mingw using the default gcc compiler, standard installations of binaries running on two different computers, one win 10 and the other windows 7 pro build 7601 sp 1. Both experience the same problems on fairly trivial code compile/run attempts.
Basically, executing "Build and Run" the build hangs, the 'red X' abort button has no effect on the build, the entire C::B program seems to hang up. It happens on both machines on different user application code. There is nothing really in common between the machines. These are first time installs of CB so there are no old libraries hanging around etc.
I am able to run some simple code fine, but editing and compiling along the way with the "build and compile" button seems to result in frequent hang-ups. On other occasions it works. It is possible that there is a bug in the code being compiled. It's hard to put a finger on the exact behaviour at this point. It seems like just running build without run might be more stable.
The causes of the hang seem to be varied and somewhat arbitrary, but perhaps loosly associated with code with a bug in it. On other occasions, it reports the bugs just fine and stops compiling by itself as expected. The project directory seems clean and tidy.
Could not see anything relevant in the fora.
Once it hangs, oddly some C:B menus work but the build buttons are greyed out, and attempting to kill the C::B window shell is not even possible. It complains that the compiler is still running and do I want to abort it. Saying yes it returns to hanging. Trying to kill the window again (right top X) finally asks if I want to kill the process. I can then restart. I am not sure yet if the error is directly repeatable, it could be. As mentioned, the compile abort button is ineffective at aborting the compile, even after a long wait.
I have managed to create a C++ application that crashes, and it seems to handle that properly.
Any guidance greatly appreciated thanks.
