I have a very stranous problem with Freertos. I have all version of Freertos. I use winavr WinAVR_20060421 I coompile without problem Freertos from version 3.23 to version 4.01. Problem start with 4.02 and next. Simply I cancel the the freertos directory of previous version and unzip the new version. Then I launch Programmer Notepad and open the makefile of demo example for atmega323. Then "Make all" from the menù tools. And here there is the problem. In the output window of "Programmer Notepad" I see a very long list that never end and repeat continuosly. And in the "task manager" in the tab "Process" I have many session of process "make" that increment always…10 session ..11..13..and so on. I’m unable to compile Freertos version from 4.02 to 4.20 Thank you

Will it build if you run make from the command prompt?

No. It is the same thing. I look a lot of messages , always the same messaeg that repeat forever.But compiling does not start( no messages relative to compiling section). Thank you

Sounds like could be a cygwin – gcc – make incompatability somewhere.

Can you try doing a "make clean" first. I have just compiled the V4.2.0 code with no problems. avr-gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
