I'm actually planning on upping my Octane to 2GB of RAM in the next week or so. It was actually my intention to make a nice tardist of this and send it over to nekochan.net :).

Further intended enhancements I'm planning are a "make tardist" target so future upgrades are easier and maybe creating an fti icon for it.

What compile flags do you use? If the flags contain -Ofast -IPA this will likely
be the cause of the long compile.
IPA is the interprocedural analyser and accomplishes optimization over several
object files. I've seen xmame compiles with that flag take over 2 Gb of swap on
my Origin 200 with 1 GB physical, so i use that machine almost exclusively when
compiling xmame


So either get yourself another boatload of swap (4 GB should be ok) or buy more
ram :) Or i can do the build for you and put it in the download section of
www.nekochan.net


Hows that sound?

Quoting Caleb Shay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Trying to build xmame-0.78.1 on IRIX using the MIPSpro compiler. I've done this before (over a year ago, check the mailing list archives) and was startled out how long it took, even on an Octane with 512MB of RAM. Well, now even that machine can't finish the compile. I've got an Octane R10K-195, 512MB RAM, 2GB swap, and I _STILL_ get out of memory errors on the final linking!

What is going on here that an application could possibly need that much RAM to link?
