I’ve been using Automation Studio 4.12 for almost a year without major issues. However, recently, rebuilding my project has become extremely slow. The process always gets stuck at “Compiling objects of type Bitmap…” and takes 25-30 minutes to complete. Previously, the rebuild time was much faster (around 3-5 minutes max).
I came across a topic here that suggested this issue might be related to the Windows version, but I’ve been using the same version of Automation Studio and Windows for a year without encountering this problem until now.
Additionally, I read that this issue happens only the first time you rebuild a project, but in my case, it persists every time I try to rebuild.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue or found a solution? Any insights would be appreciated!
For certain VC4 build issues it might be necessary to have more information then what is usually presented as compiler output. Because of this it is possible to enable verbose mode of the compiler by adding the option -verbose to the additional build options in the configuration view.
Based on your advice, I enabled the -verbose option, which showed that the build process wasn’t actually stuck but was progressing very slowly. After some investigation, I ended several tasks and background processes on my computer. This improved the rebuild time (tough it’s not as fast as it used to be) it’s significantly better now.
Thanks for the suggestion, it helped me identify the issue more clearly.
