Comment(by devans@…):
On the memory utilization issue when compiling parse_vrml97.cpp Braden
says
{{{
On my machine, parse_vrml.cpp's high water mark in memory seems to be
somewhere between 900 MB and 1 GB. I think this means that OpenVRML
should compile comfortably in a non-parallel build on 64-bit machines
with at least 2 GB of memory; and on 32-bit machines with at least 1 GB
of memory. For machines with more memory, OpenVRML's build will
parallelize pretty nicely.
}}}
I concur with his memory usage figures. Virtual memory size gets up to
almost
900 MB before hitting the bus error problem with significant thrashing of
swap
space. I'm using a G4 Power Mac (Quicksilver) with 640 MB of physical
ram.
Have ordered another 1 GB of memory to bring it up to 1.5 GB.
However, I still think that there work to be done in breaking up these
files
to make things compile easier. Nothing else in MacPorts comes close to
these
memory usage figures.
