HI
We have an issue when building on our Win8.1 Build machines.
The issue used to be sporadic, 1 in 100 builds or so, but over the last few months has become regular, fails 75 in 100 times.
The failure point is always random, and two different build machines exhibit the same fault.
If the hardware is as old as the OS,
I would try reseating the memory and running a memory test.
Yes, I know this is happening on 2 different servers.
We believe it to be a windows/system issue but understanding what GCC is doing would allow us to potentially work out and remove the cause of the issue.
It always occurs during compilation of Ada files. The failure is always the same "CreateProcess No Such file or Directory".
We know the source always exists at the point of failure, and we're always building 'clean'.
Since this is all GCC tells us, we're somewhat stuck in diagnosing the issue.
Is there any mechanism that would get GCC to give us more information about what is was attempting to do when the failure occurs.
