Error in linking?

[AB]

I made some changes to one of *.c files of my project, and this is quite
normal, but when I tried to compile, CVI (6.0) halted saying that there
weren't some components...
I deleted the obj directory and the *.exe files, and this worked...
After some days, I encountered the same problem on another pc after doing
changes to another file. I solved it in the same way, but I can't find an
explanation...

What was the problem?

Thanks.
Andrea.

Andrea...

I've has exactly the same problem since I updgrade to 5.1 (or 5.5 can't remember now), and I reported something similar to NI about a year ago.

I can never repeat it when I want to, since it seems to occur randomly. I initially thought my problems were related in some to clearcase, since my files exist on a vob on a remote directory. But I even see the problem when I use a snapshot (which resides on a local drive).

Most of my projects have a large number of files in them, and sometimes, it complains that it cannot find file nnnnnnnn.x.

Another problem that I see is when I am compiling in debug mode, all apears fine. Whne I go to compile the release version, the final object (DLL or EXE) occasionally reports a GPF and fails. I then have to d
o the same, i..e delete the NIOBJ folder and then rebuild the deliverable.

Again, I can never repeat the problem, but it occurs at least once a week, if not more...

Pretty annoying, but since I can't really repeat it, I can't blame NI for not fixing it, since I can't show them the fault, only tell them that it happens...

Are the files you are compiling from on a local drive, or on a network?

Today the problem came out again. My files are on a local drive, but I
have your problem: I can't say under what condition error generates...
I use CVI 6.0, so the problem wasn't solved in this new release...

Bye, Andrea.
