LabVIEW FPGA Compile Segfault

[tomark]

Hello,

A compilation in LabVIEW FPGA ends with a strange ERROR message which I have never seen before. The compilation was done on the server (currently another one is being done locally). It seems as if it is a file access problem because it reports " Failed to write file content of MacallanTop.edf in zip archive. " as the reason for the failure. 

Preceding the same code compiled without any problem. All of the compilation steps were done in an usual amount of time and then this error happened. Immediately preceding this there were some minimal code changes (One typedef was changed, and the corresponding register which used this typedef as data type.), something that was done many times before. This shouldn't have caused any problems. My question is, if this is maybe a server error?

Thank you and best regards.

I also looked through directories and found that the compiler successfully creates folders for the compilation jobs/tasks it receives. From that it would seem the issue is not in communication but in something else.

Hello,

Just to elaborate on this further. It was definitely a problem with the compile server, at least the one I was compiling on. Even after creating a new build an trying that it still didn't work, however the exact same source code compiled locally. After 2 days the same build that previously didn't work on the server went suddenly into generating Xilinx IP, meaning that it was either a new server or the previous one was reset and since then the same source code compiles without any problems.
