vfork problems compiling on Windows
Hi, I already reported this problem before. I get vfork problem on Windows and one or more subfolders break during compilation resulting in an incomplete target library. I was advised before to go to the failed subfolder and run make in there. That works, but now the question is how do I re-make the final library and only the library. If I go back to the petssc root folder and issue "make" the whole thing gets rebuilt from scratch, ignoring what has been so far built. This not only takes ages on Windows, but also occasionally breaks due to the vfork problem in another subfolder. How can I trigger continuing the build in this case? Thanks Dominik

Running 'make' in the subfolder' where you got 'vfork' errors should update the library with the missing pieces - so you shouldn't have to do any more 're-make final library' stuff.

Alternative way of achieving incremental build is the following command in the top-level dir. [But this can also take a while to complete] make ACTION=lib tree Satish

After "make" in the concerned subfolder I came back to the root folder and issued "make test". But errors were reported during the tests so I thought the library had not been finalized.

BTW: do you have an antivirus or some type of scanner software thats running? Would disabling such a thing make the "vfork: Resource temporarily unavailable" problem go away?
Thanks for the hints. Yes I have a virus scanner and I believe I once disabled it for a test and it did not help, but am not absolutely certain any more. Will try next time the problem occurs. Regards, Dominik
