My builder not creating the DLL file in /data folder (old working builds or new builds )

Even a simple test.cpp
#include "sierrachart.h"



SCDLLName("Test Build")



SCSFExport scsf_TestBuild(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)

{

if (sc.SetDefaults)

{

sc.GraphName = "Test Build";

sc.StudyDescription = "Minimal test study.";

sc.AutoLoop = 1;

sc.GraphRegion = 0;

return;

}

}

I redownloaded the latest sierra version and tried previous also.

What are you getting in the Build Output?

I have no idea why, but for some reason the compiler does not like the name of your function - scsf_TestBuild(). Change the name to something else then try to build.

I did change.(multiple times)
The name, filename, function names etc.
I get same error.

Allow time for the server to compile the files and build the DLL. Server: https://build.sierrachart.com The remote build is complete. The build failed. Failed to generate the DLL file. -- End of Build -- 16:17:14

Even old .cpp files that i use and currently working. if i recompile them, i get same error

There are no compiler line-number errors shown.

This happens even with older ACSIL .cpp studies that previously compiled successfully. I also tested from a clean separate Sierra Chart installation and get the same result.

So this does not appear to be caused by my original Sierra installation, Data folder, or a specific new source file. Can you check whether there is still a remote-build DLL-generation issue affecting my account/build route, or whether there is a server-side cache/state that needs to be reset?

There is nothing related to an account for the remote builds, so this is not something specific to you.

We took your example and had the exact same issue with it not compiling with no other messages. But we were able to compile another program of our own without issue.

Given the simplicity of your example, and everything being setup properly, we tried a few things to try and figure out what was going on. In the end, the one thing we changed that worked was the function name. When we left it as "scsf_TestBuild()", it would give us the issue. When we changed this to "scsf_TestingStuff() it compiled fine.

With regards to your other studies, keep in mind that there have been changes to Volume data where it has been changed from Integer to Double. So make sure you have updated your studies to take this into account. Refer to the following:

We are letting Engineering know about this.
