We are currently getting issues with our build mac where Xojo 2019r3.2 and Xojo 2019r3.1 is crashing when attempting to build for windows and mac, we have not seen this issue before Xojo 2019r3.1, here is the spec of the build mac:
Our project has around 3500 classes, and 300k+ lines of code.
We have seen this issue on an off, there are phases where it works nicely for a few weeks, then falls over every build.
When building, during the linking phase, Xojo will either:
Complete the build successfully
Freeze and run up the available ram to unrealistic heights, then the force quite window appears
This is something to do, certainly, but I’m glad the question has also been asked to the forum, so if someone has this problem too, the answer may be available easier.
Which I don’t understand. The IDE itself is at least as big as the described project and it routinely gets built as both Default and as Aggressive and we don’t run anywhere near this amount of RAM.
@Connor_Blackler, do you have lots of media assets in your project? Perhaps movies?
Have you ever tried to restart your pc? Clearly 250gb of memory is way out of the scope of what’s reasonable. I’ve never ever seen xojo take so much memory so or there is a leak somehwere or you have way too much respurce files in your executable packed.
Since you say “normal” compiles use only half the available memory (around 16gb?) there must be a leak somewhere.
We have a post build script that invokes a Xojo app that handles copying of specific resources into the new build, and other things, I wonder if there is a correlation between when we last switched this app from an older version of Xojo to a newer version and when the crashes start.
