[FIXED] - Amiga OS 4.1 slow down ???

Hi All,

I experience something that didn't happen on my Sam440EP.

I installed latest Hyperion SDK, minigl, etc ... and I uses CodeBENCH as editor for development
(I have bought Cubic IDE but it does not support latest SDK)

When I compiles, the first time, compilation start fastly and when I compiles again and again .. compilation times get longer. Especially on the fact that CodeBench display as usual "Building entire project..." and then, instead of launching compilation, I get messages several times : "The Builder program communication has been delayed, retrying..." ... After a long wait (approx 1 min) and 3 or 4 messages of this, compilation start.
I must restart Amiga OS 4.1 to get 1 compilation fast ... and then the message came back.

I didn't had this on my old Amiga OS 4.1 on Sam440EP ...

Does anyone have an idea ?

@freddix
If it's of any help, I've run g++ on a large (75k line) program for 4 times in a row, with almost identical times. I am using OS4.1 (with latest Quickfix) on a Sam440ep (original not Flex) with Hyperion's latest SDK.

@ChrisH
Like I said, on my Sam440Ep (that is no more at home), I didn't have this problem.

@freddix

Well, I don't really know what to suggest, but the compilation process is run via a pipe in order to grab the input. The fact you keep getting the "Builder communication delayed..." message means that the compiler is taking longer and longer to start its output.

I can only suggest removing all programs from startup in case something is clashing.

Obviously, no such problems are evident here, and I use CodeBench a LOT!

@Rigo
I will check in my Startup-Sequence and User-Startup to see if something can conflict ...

@freddix
Then I don't understand which machine you are having this problem on, since you only mentioned the Sam440.

@freddix

When you say "I didn't have that on my SAM440EP", it would be helpful if you could include on what config you are getting this now, as the above seem to indicate a different machine.

Anyway, have you tried assigning T: to a harddisk directory? It might be that you are running low on memory and paging kicks in.

Yes CubicIDE does not support *installing* the latest SDK via its own installer. However I'm using Cubic daily for my own developments and it's with the latest SDK. The easier you can do to reach this is to install the previous SDK as it wants to, then you go to "DEVKITS:sdks/AmigaOS4/" there will be one directory there (something like called 51.22)
1) you note its name,
2) you delete it,
3) you make a link with the name you noted before pointing to your official SDK (preferably the full path not the SDK: assign because depending on your user-startup configuration Cubic-IDE might be initialized before the SDK assign is created)
Normally all should work as before. If you want instead of deleting you can just rename the sdk directory installed by Cubic.

Please note I said this was an easy step, only doing this should provide you with a usable compiler, *but* cross-reference won't be update so when you'll search for some reference help you might not end on the correct line in autodocs or the includes files, you'll need to regenerate the cross-reference index using the standard Cubic's procedure for this. Also some new keywords won't be syntax highlighted either and "quick help" won't be able to display help for newer function.

@abalaban
Ok, I'll try this

@Others:
I use a Sam440Flex 800Mhz with 512Mb ram ( I've removed the 512Mb extra mem due to the problem with graphics ...

@freddix

Did you try running 1GB memory now that the new update has been released?
And when did Flex stop having the 440EP cpu? ;)

@Yaroze
I will try extra 512Mb soonly
Concerning 440EP, I have 2 motherboards !
1 x Sam440EP
1 x Sam440Flex

@Rogue:
I didn't yet try to assign T: to a HD location but, when I check the workbench, it tell me that more than 300Mb memory is available and same for swap partition.

@freddix

Try typing status in shell to check if gcc has completed

Maybe some thing gets stuck.

@abalaban
Hmm the problem is:
Where can I find the SDK 51.22?

I've checked a bit in my system.
I restaured my Internet configuration from my SAM440EP into my SAM440FLEX and I had SAMBA running
I've noticed that SAMBA did not work here on my SAM440FLEX.
By disabling the SAMBA Binaries in Internet configuration, I do no more have this slow down issue :)

Problem fixed now :p

@root

SDK 51.22 is outdated and have been removed from hyperions server. Use the new SDK.

@ZeroG

SDK 51.22 is needed to install the news SDK under Cubic

@Root:
If you use MSN on a PC computer, tell me at psykokwak75 (at) hotmail.com and I'll send it to you.
Apparently Hyperion don't want someone to host a copy of it so I will not put it on my FTP.

Kindest Regards,
Fred

@freddix

I had this problem when I installed OS 4.1 first, the problem was that i forgot to change configuration (I'm not sure but I think this was an assign, so when samba (nmdb IRC) was started it was almost stopping immediately but the internet daemon was constantly trying to relaunch it thus I had my CPU used at 100% level :-/ after I had reconfigured it all was fine again !!

@root

I have found a backup of the SDK, it's 161 MB so i can't email it to you...
