Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler
Hi!
We've been experiencing a very strange behavior lately. This problem persists in CCS V7 and V8, and even if using the TI compiler tools from the command line.
During my research I found that when my PC is connected to the Siemens local network, the build process becomes extremely slow, every operation takes around 30 seconds to complete (to build one file, or to clean the project, etc.). If the PC does not have a network connection, or it is connected to a regular network, everything is working fine.
I also have a regular Eclipse with GNU ARM tools, which works fine in all circumstances. Using Sysinternals Process Explorer I noticed that the GNU ARM toolchain uses the MinGW sh.exe for the shell operations (echo, compiler commands, etc.), while TI's gmake uses the windows cmd.exe. When on company network, the cmd.exe processes launched by gmake.exe look like they are taking too much time to complete, blocking the whole build process.
Do you have any ideas how to investigate the issue further? I'm suspecting a company policy / company installed process in the background, but I don't know how to find the culprit. Telling gmake to use and other shell might be an option, but specifying SHELL = sh.exe in the makefile does not seem to change anything...
