[gentoo-user] unable to compile seamonkey-2.9.1-r2

2012-06-08 Thread Raffaele BELARDI 
I'm on an old 512Mb RAM / 1Gb swap system.

Up to seamonkey-2.9.1 I was able to build from sources.

emerging 2.9.1-r2 dies with collect2: ld terminated with signal 9
[Killed] and I see swap space being eaten up quickly towards the end of
the build.

gcc is 4.6.3, I also tried 4.5.3 with same result. Building from a
console without X and all the servers down hits the same problem.

CFLAGS=-march=native -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer

I browsed through gcc options and did not find anything to minimize
memory requirements other than reducing optimization level, but I
suppose that impacts on compilation and the problem occurs during linking.

Do I have any option other than increasing the swap space or going with
the -bin package?

thanks,

raffaele

What's wrong with temporarily increasing swap space using swap files?

Rgds,

Try removing -pipe, that will reduce memory usage but I'm not sure by how
much. Adding swap space is probably your best option.

Nothing, I just didn't think about it :-)
Will try right away.

It worked, thanks.
