Hi, firefox is missing on i386 due to BROKEN dependency (lang/rust). And rustc is marked BROKEN because it requires too much memory and fail randomly during the build (and it fails more often than it success). So firefox couldn't be build. But any help on lang/rust on i386 would be appreciate... the game is "found the way to build it reliably". Some ways could be: - good options on LLVM backend to reduce the memory requirement - good options on rustc to reduce the memory requirement - found why the build doesn't use swap at all (some kernel hacking in vm ?) The sensitive part of the build is the build of "librustc" crate. Currently the build is already tricked (for this crate) with rustc options: "-C codegen-units=16 -C opt-level=1 -Z fewer-names" (but it isn't enough). See patches/patch-src_bootstrap_bin_rustc_rs. Note, that currently I am able to build it (after some hours) with command line like: $ cd /usr/ports/lang/rust && while ! make ; do echo try again ; done Any players ? Thanks. -- Sebastien Marie
