Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Segmentation fault upon start-up

[Otyugh]

 Whenever I have tried to compile it, I get the message No more memory.
 Is it possible that you could compile a 32-bit version of Icecat and
 make it available to me?

Tu get virtually more space for compiling, just use temporary swap. Here are 
the steps for allocating 2Go :

Adding swap :
fallocate -l 2G /swap #generate a file of 2Go length
swapon /swap #using this file as additional swap. If you reboot, you must do 
swapon again to use the file /swap as swap. 

##Now you should have enought memory to compile.

Removing swap :
swapoff /swap
rm /swap


...I've an unrelated question : is it possible to compile icecat on arm 
architecture without headache? A bunch of dependance seem to be missing in 
debian's repository when I try (using apt-get build-dep iceweasel).

  Dear Dimitris
  
  I am very interested that you succeeded in compiling
  Icecat 24.0. Whenever I have tried to compile it, I get
  the message No more memory. Is it possible that you
  could compile a 32-bit version of Icecat and make it
  available to me?
  
  Sincerely

Dear Adam

Someone has suggested this solution: make a 2Gb swap file to use in
addition to your normal swap file. Like this:

# fallocate -l 2G /swap
# mkswap -c /swap
# swapon /swap

The 1st and 2nd commands are in the Debian package util-linux, and the
3rd command is in the Debian mount package.
Look at the respective man pages.

Whether this solves the problem, I do not know, because I have been too
busy to try this solution, but I shall probalby do so some time during
the coming week.

Best of luck!
