Re: PowerGen Aborts Building dlls.

We are in the process of migrating from PowerBuilder 8.3 to PowerBuilder 10.5.1 Build 6602.
Im currently evaluating PowerGen to see if it solves some of our source control problems.

When we use PowerGen to compile the one of our applications, we get an abort error generating one of our libraries dlls. 

The error signature we get is
AppName: pwrgn105.exe
AppVer 6.5.5.5
ModName pbcmp105.dll
ModVer 10.5.1.6602
Offset 003959a.

When we compile with PowerBuilder 10.5.1 it compiles successfully. 

Any hints?
Is there anyway to find out which object PowerGen is blowing up on?

Thanks

Re: PowerGen Aborts Building dlls.

It is very difficult to isolate these problems.  Creating DLLs has never been a particularly robust process, with either PowerGen or PowerBuilder.

It is requirement that you use DLLs?  The build times for DLLs are very long, the build and run-time environments for them aren't as robust (as PBDs), and the deliverables are larger.  Most significant is that is rare to measure any performance improvement from using them.

If you isolate the objects that benefit from machine code, PowerGen does offer a unique feature to create builds that include a combination of PBDs and DLLs.
