==General Issue Information==
 
−
 
 
−
If a customer experiences an issue with compilation errors for all his/her scripts in PowerLanguage Editor, most likely he/she has faced one of two compilation problems:
 
−
* '''Compilation issue connected with GCC short paths'''.
 
−
* '''Compilation issue connected with Virtual Allocation'''
 
−
It is extremely easy to check if you have one of the issues:
 
−
# In '''PowerLanguage Editor''' main menu go to '''File''', then '''New...'''  and in the pop up window choose any study type.
 
−
# Give it any name.
 
−
# Without putting a single keyword into the completely empty study, click on the '''Compile''' button in the ToolBar of PowerLanguage Editor.
 
−
# If the fresh blank study is compiled with error, it means that you have one of two compilation problems.
 
−
Depending on which type of compilation problem you have there are two ways to fix them. To find out which one you have:
 
−
# Open '''C:\ProgramData\TS Support\MultiCharts\StudyServer\Studies''' ''(for Windows 7/8)'' or '''%allusersprofile%\Application Data\TS Support\MultiCharts\StudyServer\Studies''' ''(for Windows XP)''.
 
−
# Open the file '''compiler_error.log'''.
 
−
:* If the file contains lines similar to:<br>"Internal error in mingw32_gt_pch_use_address, at config/i386/host-mingw32.c:151: VirtualAlloc (commit):"<br>"C:\PROGRA~1\TSSUPP~1\MULTIC~1\STUDYS~1\Studies\SrcCpp\INDICA~1\I_SBTE~1.CPP:1:fatal error: can't read PCH file: Invalid argument.

  • C:\Program Files\TS Support\... or C:\Program Files (x86)\TS Support\... depending on your Windows and MultiCharts version.
  1. Rename the TS Support folder into TS SupportOld. Create new folder TS Support. Move everything from TS SupportOld into the new TS Support. Delete the TS SupportOld folder.
  2. Open the new TS Support folder. Rename the MultiCharts folder into MultiChartsOld. Create new folder MultiCharts. Move everything from MultiChartsOld into the new MultiCharts. Delete the MultiChartsOld folder.
  3. Open the new MultiCharts folder. Rename the StudyServer folder into StudyServerOld. Create new folder StudyServer. Move everything from StudyServerOld into the new StudyServer. Delete the StudyServerOld folder.
