Hello,

Building the projects/solutions each per each works fine.

But when make a rebuild of the Root-solution the parallel build fails since the last library task never finishes and then linking the executable fails.
Building the Executable per direct click in the Project Explorer works fine.

Reproduce: everytime
Workaround but not applicable since to slow: Set Options->Building->Parallel Building Threads to 1

Red Marked library build hangs forever:

 

Please fix this Bug soon - this is very anoying.

Thanks & BR
Martin

  There are no dependencies in the solution build, not sure what the fix is?

  Dependencies are set correctly in the Executable Project "DeviceTemplate_Modbus..." and when rebuild is invoced directly with mouse right click on this project it builds fine.

  Only when invocing a complete rebuild from the top level solution - one dependency project will never finish until you set in Options the "ParallelBuilding Threads to 1"

  So for me thats clear a CrossStudio bug don't handling parallel threads correctly... :-)

  I understand the problem - are you building more that one executable at the solution level?

  Yes the Root Solution "ESW" has some libraries and at the bottom a solution with builds 2 executables
  Invocing rebuild from green arrow works and from red arrow works not.

  Okay, I agree it's a bug.

  To avoid it create a "Staging Project" that does nothing and make the executable projects dependencies of this project.

  Just tried it out - workaround with the (empty) staging project is working.

  Perfect! Thanks a lot & BR
