Are you building from the develop branch? ---

[quote author=weex link=topic=505.msg3131#msg3131 date=1408753164] Are you building from the develop branch? [/quote] From my post: \> Build from branch (M)aster or (d)evelop? (M/d): M  Working with branch: master I was using Master. Late yesterday xnova said Master was screwed up and he fixed it, I will retry to see whether I still run into this. So far it's been running longer (I think) so I believe updates he made Friday afternoon/evening fixed the problem, so I will post here again only if the problem has _not_ been resolved. Thanks! P.S. Rich formatting in this forum s/w isn't very useful… ---

Next I'll build from develop.
