Problem compiling GHC 4.08
I'm trying to build the latest version of GHC, from CVS, and everything goes fine until it gets to the file Parser.hs. At this point, it gets stuck on this file for a couple of hours, then quits with either an "out of memory" message or the message "Haskell compiler received signal 9". I've tried increasing the memory settings for Parser.hs in the Makefile (the corresponding line as I currently have it is: parser/Parser_HC_OPTS += -Onot -H256m -optCrts-M256m -K2m -fno-warn- incomplete-patterns ), but it made no difference. I'm on a Linux workstation with 64 MB of physical RAM and 200 MB of swap space. How much memory is actually necessary to compile this file?

Alternatively, a workaround for the short term is this patch to fptools/ghc/driver/ghc-asm.lprl: *** ghc-asm.lprl 2000/06/29 13:18:09 1.44.2.1 --- ghc-asm.lprl 2000/07/11 08:41:38 *** *** 711,716 --- 711,717 $e =~ s/^\tret\n//; $e =~ s/^\tpopl \%edi\n//; $e =~ s/^\tpopl \%esi\n//; + $e =~ s/^\tpopl \%edx\n//; $e =~ s/^\tpopl \%ecx\n//; $e =~ s/^\taddl \$\d+,\%esp\n//; $e =~ s/^\tsubl \$-\d+,\%esp\n//; Cheers, Simon
