Yes, but it's absurd that compilation, not of pan itself, but of a test program (scorefile-test) that most users will never even run, should require more than half a gig of RAM and several minutes of CPU time just to get compiled with -O2 - especially when compiling it without any -O flag reduces the RAM and CPU requirements for compilation by some 90%, and the resulting program still completes in milliseconds if you actually run it. If I could find my way through the labyrinth of automake stuff I would suggest a patch to remove the -O2 for this particular program, for now I've settled for having a little script that tweaks the generated Makefile between ./configure and make... - I've no problem at all building the rest of pan (including test programs) with gcc 3.4.2 and standard options on a box that occasionally can't provide the amount of memory that this particular compilation needs. --Per Hedeland _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
