error 7! when linking

[Zorroslade]

Hi,

I am building a rather large project >60Mb. It seems that CodeBlocks is crashing when I am linking. Here is my system:
1. Linux Debian Squeeze 64 bit (I keep it to the latest patches).
2. CodeSourcery Compiler -> version gcc/g++ 4.5.1
3. CodeBlocks July 20 2012, wx 2.8.12 (Linux unicode) - 64 bit -- svn 8510 SDK version 1.13.5

When I am linking, I get an error code of 7 (failed with error code 7!).

How can I turn on a more verbose debugging for more info?

Does C::B ("just" the IDE) itself crash or the linker ?

If it's the linker, you have to find out which option gives you more meaningful output and/or read the manual to find out what a return value of 7 means.

I assume you have turned on full commandline logging already, if not: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28errors%29#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_a_compiler_problem.3F

Hi,

CodeBlocks does not crash (sorry for the misleading statement). I can repeatedly rebuild and get the same error.

I did forget one detail. I can build the app from the commandline without an error (sorry). I am guessing that maybe the redirect from g++ is causing some issue, or the text box can't handle the amount of data (Just a guess).

Did you build with full commandline logging turned on ?
Does building from console succeed with the same commandline as C::B creates ?

Is your toolchain set up correctly, so C::B uses the same compiler and li nker than you se from commandline ?
Note: C::B puts the compilers masterpath at the top of the searchpath while compiling/linking.

Hi,

I am asking how to turn on the logging/debugging for the CodeBlocks, so I can provide more info.

We are using a cbp2make utility to convert our cbp file to a makefile. I do believe that it is the same. This error code 7 only started to occur when we moved to the codesourcery compiler.

I have specified the Toolchain and path in the Compiler settings options under Settings.

It's described in the link I gave you:

Sorry, I didn't notice this link. I will enable it tomorrow and post the log.

Sry, it took so ling to get back. My companies priorities are like the wind.

I have one more data point. I am running Debian Squeeze 64 bit. My colleagues are running Debian squeeze 32 bit build 7780, and It does not get the "error 7" when linking.

I do have full command-line option checked. Is there any more logging/debugging that I can enable?

*,

error 7! (E2BIG) is "errno 7 is E2BIG : The total number of bytes in the environment (envp) and argument list (argv) is too large".

Is there a way to extend the shell limit for codeblocks?

Is there a way to split the output up into smaller chunks in order to get around this?

I am willing to look into this myself if someone could give me a link to get the code. I do not work with svn or git much so a tar.bz2, instructions for a novice would help, or a link. I can ask questions in that thread/link if I need further help.

You really should use SVN here. It is very simple: All you need are the SVN tools available for all platforms and then its a one liner:
svn checkout http://svn.berlios.de/codeblocks/trunk

Alternatively this provides you with the whole dump of the repo:
http://download.berlios.de/svndumps/codeblocks-svnroot.tar.gz
...but I don't think this is very helpful.
