hi guys i have a question for you i am trying to native compile latex under zaurus/C1000 as you know that machine has 64Mb of ram
i 'm using kernel 2.6.23 with 4Gb Microdrive: 512Mb of which are reserved as "swap" latex is a project made in C++, compiling C++ sources means ... having much more memory for the C++ compiler. With TOP i see C++ heats a lot of memory (24, 32Mb, at least). The problem is: 1) i recompiled gcc-4.1.2 with success 2) i recompiled glibc with success 3) every time i try to compile latex i got a segmentation fault may be that segmentation fault is cause by a sort of "out of memory" ? may be for any "kernel internal structure" ? should the virtual memory process (swap) covers any "out of memory" case ? the reason of a "segmentation fault" may be also caused by an hardware issue i tested all the hardware components: 1) i tested the microdrive using baddisk with pass=5 (and paranoid patterns) 2) i tested the cpu using benchmark and cpu diagnost test 3) i tested the compiler/libc recompiling big ebuild (gcc, glibc) 4) i cooled the machine with an air flower (in order to make it working in good temperature) what else ? any idea ? today i ordered a "sheeva plug" (with arch is armv5-LE) in order to have a native arm5 machine equipped with 512Mb of ram i will use it to emerge for C1000 _______________________________________________ Zaurus-devel mailing list Zaurus-devel@lists.linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zaurus-devel
