Appendix A: Trouble Shooting
?
I have clicked the “Stop Build” button or selected [Build->Stop Build] to abort a build but the build
process has not stopped.
The HEW will stop the build after it has built the current file (or executed the current single phase). If the
builder does not respond after a longer period of time you can select [Build->Terminate Current Tool]
which will attempt to forcibly terminate the current process. Do NOT assume that any output from the tool
you terminated is valid. It is recommended that you delete any output files produced and ensure that the
phase is executed again.
?
I have a text file in the editor but it does not show any syntax coloring.
Ensure that you have named the file (i.e. saved it) and that the “Enable syntax coloring” check box is set on
the “Editor” tab of the “Tools Options” dialog, which is launched via [Tools->Options...]. HEW checks a
file group to which the file’s extension belongs and decides whether the file is colored. To view the current
defined extensions and their file groups, use the “File Extensions” dialog which is launched via [Project-
>File Extensions...]. To view coloring information, use the “Format” tab of the “Tools Options” dialog,
which is launched via [Tools->Options...]. (See the “Syntax Coloring” section in chapter 4, “Using the
Editor” for details.)
?
I want to change the settings of a tool but the [Tools->Administration…] menu option cannot be selected.
[Tools->Administration...] cannot be selected while a workspace is open. To enter the “Tool
Administration” dialog first close the current workspace.
?
I did not edit any of the project files. But some of files were built again when I selected [Build->Build].
A file is built again if any of the following conditions holds:
The options for the current file have been modified since the last build.
If any of the output files are missing.
Any of the source files have a newer date than the phase’s output files.
Any of the dependent files have a newer date than the phase’s output files.
In a user-defined custom build phase, the “Don’t check for input file(s) existence before executing” check
box is checked. To see the status of this check box, select [Options->Build Phases…], select the phase in
the “Build Phase Order” list in the “Build Order” tab, and click the “Modify…” button. Then you will see
the “Don’t check for input file(s) existence before executing” check box on the “Command” tab.
A subcommand file is selected in Hitachi Optimizing Linkage Editor.
?
I want to exclude a file in a project from build temporarily.
Push the right button of your mouse on the file in the “Projects” tab of the “Workspace” window, and select
[Exclude Build <file>], where <file> is the selected file. Then the file is excluded from build. To include the
file in build again, push the right button of your mouse on the file, and select [Include Build <file>].
?
I opened a workspace from my PC, and one of my colleagues opened the same workspace simultaneously
from another PC. I changed the settings of the workspace and saved it. He or she saved the workspace
after me. I opened the workspace again and found that the settings of the workspace differed from what I
had set before.
The settings saved last are enforced. Once HEW opens a workspace, it is updated inside the memory. HEW
does not save the settings into a file until a user saves the workspace intentionally.
?
I want HEW to automatically specify default options to a file, which is newly added to a project.
You can specify default options to a phase if the phase is a multiple build phase. Select a phase from the
[Options] menu. If the phase is a multiple build phase, a file list is displayed on the left-hand side of the
options dialog (figure A.1). In the file list, open a folder of a file group to which you want to specify your
default options. You will find a “Default Options” icon in the folder. Select the icon, specify options on the
right-hand side of the options dialog, and click “OK”. The options specified here will be given to any new
file of that file group when it is first added to the project.
