Bug 2769 – ecls (from dev-lisp) did not build successfully

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Juergen Ilse 2002-05-16 03:53:35 UTC]

The problem seems to be the ulimit for the stack. If you try to build
this package, mor than 3 GB of virtual memory will be consumed by the
build-processi before the build aborts. If you increase the default i
stack-limit from 8192 (8 MB) to 32768 (32 MB), this problem does not
occur. Maybe, we should include a "ulimit -s 32768" in the ebuild file.

Gosh, first time I hear about something like ecls .. maybe check with somebody
who actually made or did commits to the ebuild ?

I did not have this problem the first time I built it, but I'll look into it.

ecls has not had any activity for 8 months. The latest vesion 0.5 does not build
even with moderate tweaking. I am masking out ecls-0.2 and recommend that people
use sbcl or cmucl instead.

Err.. it's not like I fixed it...
