problems in windows 10 child_info_fork::abort:

[Alfonso Ariza Quintana]

I have suffered a problem with the make tool in Windows 10 after the last actualization of windows 10, the message can change a bit but will have something like “child_info_fork::abort”

And here is my solution

Close all omnet programs, included the shell

Start the ahs.exe program tools/win32/usr/bin

In the shell that have started execute 

$ /bin/rebaseall

After this, in my computer every run fine.

Alfonso and All,

First of all, many thanks for this information.

After the recent (automatic?) installation of updates 2~3 days ago, I also found that the mingw shell+mintty does not start with the following error messages:

1. OMNeT++ 4.6:

Failed to fork child process: Resource temporarily unavailable.

DLL rebasing may be required. See 'rebaseall --help'.

2. OMNeT++ 5.0:

/usr/bin/mintty: could not detach from caller

Try '--help' for more information.

The problem is that your suggestion does not work at all in my case for both 4.6 and 5.0.

In this regard, I wonder whether you still have no problem after the said updates, which I believe was sent to users last week.

In fact, Googling shows that this problem is more or less related with mintty.exe and well known, but no clear solution yet (from MinGW and Cygwin communities).

Not only for this but also for many other issues, I consider switching back to Windows 7 as a major Windows development platform. Of course, Linus has been stable as rock as ever.

Regards,

Joseph

Sorry for the delay,

 

If the updates that you are referring are the windows updates, yes, I have suffered problems with them. It was impossible to build inet libraries. I changed from windows 7 to windows 10 and  with this version, at least until now, every run correct, the only problem that I suffer in windows, respect to linux, it is the time that omnet needs to build the dependencies, it is a bit frustrating sometimes.

If I understand your saying correctly, you have no problems once switching from Windows 7 to 10. Am I right?

Hmm, that's exactly the reverse situation: Yesterday, I checked my office PC running Windows 7 and found that there are no such problems. On my two notebooks runnning Windows 10, as said, I cannot use OMNeT++ at all.

With regards,

Joseph

Yes, I am running omnet in Windows 10 without problem. It is a version Windows 10 Education, downloaded from dreamspark.com
