Matt,
One thing that has always pissed me off about BuildSystem but for some reason I never had the energy to bitch about is when a compile goes wrong, BuildSystem logs the source code that wouldn't compiler BUT IT DOES NOT LOG THE CONTENTS OF THE TWO FILES
#include "confdefs.h" #include "conffix.h"
MAKING DEBUGGING HARDER. Can you please have BuildSystem log these files when it logs the source code that didn't compiler.
We originally did this. It was way too long. I just debugged the same thing.
If you just dump it on a crash then length doesn't matter. Without it one is left to completely guess exactly what is in them and could have triggered the problem. Barry

Thanks
