When I attempt to compile dev-lisp/clisp-2.33, I make it up to this line: gcc -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -finline-functions -falign-functions=4 -W -Wswitch -Wcomment -Wpointer-arith -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wno-sign-compare -O2 -fexpensive-optimizations -DUNICODE -DDYNAMIC_FFI -I. -DWANT_XPM=1 -DWANT_XSHAPE=1 genclx.c -o genclx ...and then I watch several hundred Megabytes of memory get used, until both the physical memory (512 Megs) and the swapfile (512 Megs) are both full. This pretty much forces me to ^C out of that since the system becomes unusable at that point. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -v clisp Actual Results: Excessive memory consumption as described above. Expected Results: Not eaten up all my memory. I hope. :-) Here is the contents of 'emerge info': Portage 2.0.50-r6 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.2, glibc-2.3.2-r9, 2.6.1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.1 i686 Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.10 distcc 2.13 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.58-r1 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -finline-functions" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3. 2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -finline-functions" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acpi alsa arts avi berkdb cdr crypt cups encode esd foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gphoto2 gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png ppds python quicktime readline sdl slang spell sse ssl svga tcpd truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib" If it's of any additional help, the actual hardware is a Dell Inspirion 5150 laptop computer. Thanks for your time, folks!
matt, can you e-me a list of who all is on the common-lisp team please? I'd like to create a mail alias for it.
Douglas, I have two recommendations: you might want to remove -finline-functions from your CFLAGS line in /etc/make.conf. CLISP is very sensitive to optimizations flags. You may also like to try the clisp-2.33.1 ebuild which completely ignores portage CFLAGS settings (it is also marked for x86 stable). Let me know how that goes.
Hi, I just tried compiling clisp-2.33.2 and it compiled with no problems. :-)
