Hi GNOME maintainers! I'm one of the porters who takes care of the m68k and sh4 ports of Debian and I am currently trying to get a current version of libproxy to build on these architectures.
Unfortunately, this seems to be impossible at the moment since libproxy has a build dependency on webkitgtk which takes huge amounts of memory to compile and eventually fails: /usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Memory exhausted collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libwebkitgtk-3.0.la] Error 1 make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 GNUmakefile:40282: recipe for target 'libwebkitgtk-3.0.la' failed make[2]: Leaving directory '/«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-3.0' GNUmakefile:25662: recipe for target 'all' failed make[1]: Leaving directory '/«PKGBUILDDIR»/build-3.0' debian/rules:121: recipe for target 'build-stamp' failed make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2 This is on a sh4 buildd with 6 GiB of swap and 512 MiB of RAM. I am currently waiting for my personal sh4 board to arrive in the mail and can hopefully upgrade the board to more memory or at least connect an SSD with a very large swap partition. However, I am still wondering whether the build dependency of libproxy on webkitgtk is actually really necessary? The problem is that libproxy has many important reverse dependencies and we can't build things like graphviz or SANE because of this issue. Any ideas? Thanks a lot! Adrian -- .''`.
