mono compiles, but mcs refuses to compile

---- Reported by WillXPP@triad.rr.com 2003-06-11 23:29:36 MST ---- Description of Problem: mono compiles, but mcs refuses to compile Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Get sources from CVS. 2. Compile mono as directed. 3. Get mono-charge as directed. 4. Compile mcs by: make -f makefile.gnu 5. It fails. Actual Results: http://stuff.digitizedweb.com/mcs_compile.txt (includes both stdout and stderr) Expected Results: mcs to compile fully. How often does this happen? Every time I try to compile mcs. Additional Information: It is of particular interest that boehm-gc is "running out of memory." Perhaps that's contributing the problem? I don't understand why it does because I have 1 GB of RAM and 1 GB of swap. ---- Additional Comments From WillXPP@triad.rr.com 2003-06-12 01:55:47 MST ---- Okay, new info. It's the GC. I did this: 1. Compile mono by: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --with-gc=none make && make install 2. Compile mcs by: make -f makefile.gnu make -f makefile.gnu install prefix=/usr 3. Succeeds! Note the argument --with-gc=none. So without any gc it works fine, but what is broken with gc? I've tried boehm-gc and the included libgc... I keep "running out of RAM." ---- Additional Comments From bmaurer@users.sf.net 2003-06-16 11:48:12 MST ---- Looks like you dont have libgc installed correctly ---- Additional Comments From WillXPP@triad.rr.com 2003-06-16 17:36:56 MST ---- Eh, on Gentoo boehm-gc compiled just fine, in fact I did it twice or thrice, at least one time compiled with the "safe" compiler options (-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe) after having compiled glibc with the same flags. I will give Gentoo another try as it doesn't work on Red Hat with a different error (in fact, it has to do with mono, instead of mcs), I will keep that in the records so I might submit it later. It is most likely my sticks of RAM. memtest86 claims all 1 GB of them fails the fifth test, whereas on the other tests it works fine. I will give more information as time progresses.
