[erlang-questions] When does ERLC provide minmal feedback?

[ggaliens@REDACTED]

OK ... here's the info I should have provided last time around.
ERLC is crashing in odd ways when I run one of the main makefiles from a commandline as follows ...

markw@REDACTED /cygdrive/c/WingsSVN/src
$ make
make TYPE=opt common
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/WingsSVN/src'
erlc -pa ../../esdl-0.96.0626/ebin  -I ../../esdl-0.96.0626/esdl/include -I ../../esdl-0.96.0626  -I ../e3d -W +debug_info '-Dwi
ngs_version="0.99.52"' -pa ../intl_tools -o../ebin wings_lang.erl
erlc -pa ../../esdl-0.96.0626/ebin  -I ../../esdl-0.96.0626/esdl/include -I ../../esdl-0.96.0626  -I ../e3d -W +debug_info '-Dwi
ngs_version="0.99.52"' -pa ../intl_tools -o../ebin user_default.erl
erlc -pa ../../esdl-0.96.0626/ebin  -I ../../esdl-0.96.0626/esdl/include -I ../../esdl-0.96.0626  -I ../e3d -W +debug_info '-Dwi
ngs_version="0.99.52"' -pa ../intl_tools -o../ebin wings.erl



The odd thing is that this works in a slightly older code base tree (two years old).

The compile appears to HANG when compiling wings.erl
