Re: Help: Building asymptote on alpha



This error appears to be from the BDW garbage collector [0]. Are you sure it works on Linux on Alpha? The docs refer to a missing file, README.alpha, and the source has exciting comments like “untested but hopefully should work on Linux/Alpha.” What’s going on here might be an mmap or sbrk failure. You could try stracing that step of the build to see what the last system call it makes is.

Hi,

I'm trying to build package asymptote on alpha. Currently it does not
build on "official" builders due to missing BD's. Therefore I use qemu
to build inside an alpha chroot on a x64 Virtualbox.

The build log is here: https://paste.debian.net/1126163/. This

"GC Warning: Out of memory - trying to allocate requested amount (8224
bytes)..."

puzzles me. The warning appears immediately after the command has been
called. If we would really have to less RAM I'd expect that the command
runs for a while until the first malloc() calls fail.

How do I debug this?

Thanks!
