So far, the only issue I have is that 4.7 allowed me to have
10 CP's defined and this version 4.8.0.11371 only seems to
allow 8. Is that a new restriction? It may not make a difference,
but my 14900K has 24 cores, and I thought I might benefit from
allowing 10 of them to be used by Hercules. I'm not really
sure if Hercules makes use of 10, but I didn't expect to get
the error in the config file having MAXCPU=10 and NUMCPU=10.
It seems to work at 8 though.
Sounds like a bug in Bill's "Hercules Helper" script. He's passing "8" instead of "64" as the number of desired CPU engines in the 3rd option of the makefile.bat script:
makefile.bat {build-type} {makefile-name} {num-cpu-engines} \
[-asm] \
[-title "custom build title"] \
[-hqa {directory}] \
[-extpkg {directory}] \
[-a|clean] \
[{nmake-option}]
When I build my Hercules, I always specify 64, the maximum supported on Windows. His script *should* be doing the same. Just report it to him, and I'm sure he'll get it fixed it straightaway. He's a good guy.
