From: dan@cadkey.cadkey.com (Dan Kesch) Subject: [Q]: Why can't I 'make dep' with 32 MB of virtual memory?!? Date: Wed, 19 May 1993 22:26:12 GMT
Hi everybody,
yesterday, I attempted to recompile my 0.99pl8 (SLS 1.01) version of the
kernel. However, I ran into the following problem:
[My box: Gateway 486/33C,
16 MB RAM,
245 MB Seagate SCSI drive dedicated to Linux,
w/ 16 MB swap-partition (i.e. total of 32 MB vir. mem.),
Adaptec 1542B controller, WD8003E ethercard]
After running 'make config', I was not able to run 'make dep' to come up
with the dependency file for the compile. Apparently, while executing
'make dep' in the linux/kernel directory, something went wrong, leaving
me with a "out of virtual memory" error and a failed 'make'. Hmm, how
could that be, since my swap-partition seems to be working fine (32 MB
of virt. mem.) ?
I played around with the 'Makefile', changing around the order in which
'make dep' was called in each of the sub-system directories. The result:
only the linux/kernel directory fails, all the others (mm, fs, net, lib)
work.
Any advice?
Any help is much appreciated, since I need to set up my box for school
work RSN.
Dan.
