Description Matt T. Proud 2005-09-12 07:24:22 UTC
I have never really had a problem with running out of space when building most  
applications, but wxGTK 2.6.1 seemed to have tested these limits earlier  
today. It appears to eat about 1.8 gigabytes. For something as small as it is,  
I find that very shocking and perhaps indicative of a bug.  
 
I have attached a compressed log file of the build process. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. rm -rf /var/tmp/portage/* 
2. df -h 
3. emerge wxGTK #will fail due to lack of free space 
4. df -h 
 
Actual Results:  
Emerge fails with the following error: 
 

Expected Results:  
wxGTK 2.6.1 should merge safely.

Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-12 07:29:37 UTC
Yeah, and OO.org eats even twice more. How on earth should we "fix" the "problem"?!
Comment 3 Gioele Barabucci 2005-09-19 04:18:14 UTC
Compiling with --disable-precomp-headers requires 1/4 of the space of a normal 
compilation. 
 
One solution could be to add a "noprecomheaders" USE flag to the ebuild.
