Re: PowerGen appears to hang

Hi,

I am experiencing a strange problem using PowerGen v5.5.1.1 to build a PowerBuilder 9 application.  My build script makes two calls to pwrgn9 to synchronize and create the application executable and PBD's.  The second call below sometimes results in PowerGen hanging soon after the creation of the executable starts.  The pwrgn9.exe has been left to execute for over 60 hours, with the partially created executable file remaining locked.

i.e.
pwrgn9 /K MYAPP.GEN /PBG /L myapp.log
pwrgn9 /A=MYAPP.GEN /PBG /G myapp.log

I am running my script on a Windows 2000, dual processor machine.

Thanks for any help,

Craig.

Re: PowerGen appears to hang

Hi Craig,

The creation of the executable should never take more than a minute.

The /PBG switch is not valid on the /A command line.  Try removing it and see if corrects the problem.  If not, try removing, temporarily, any PBRs or icons from the build and see if it completes.  If it does, it means there's something wrong with one or more of the resources.

Regards,
