Hi there...
I think I've successfully cross-compiled Guile (stable-2.0, e309f3bf9e)
for my Freerunner phone. However, when I run it, it just keeps
allocating memory until the OOM killer kills it:
root@om-gta02 ~ # guile -c 3
Killed
root@om-gta02 ~ # guile
Killed
and if I strace it, the log ends with lots of repetitions of:
brk(0x590f000) = 0x510f000
mmap2(0x40fd2000, 65536, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0) = 0x40fd2000
mmap2(0x40fe2000, 8388608, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE, 5, 0) = -1 ENOMEM
I don't have any more detailed investigation or solutions yet. But in
case anyone else is in a similar area - let's compare notes.
Also a couple of notes to connect back with previous threads about
cross-compiling:
- I have some more patches to allow the running of guile and guile-tools
during the build. I'll post those probably tomorrow, and also compare
them with Jan's series.
- Following the discussion about a cross version of `guile-tools
compile', I realized that the Freerunner ARM platform is
little-endian, and hence the .go files should be identical to those
for x86. Therefore, although I was going to look at adding a target
type in the way that Ludo and Andy agreed, I don't actually need to do
that yet.
(Is that right? In any case, it definitely isn't relevant to the
memory eating problem, because the strace shows that guile hasn't yet
tried to open any .scm or .go files.)
Regards,
Neil
