Re: Trouble in MinGW Land

Since the size of this array is the same in xemacs.exe as well as temacs.exe and since it is not used as heap space in xemacs.exe it is important that it is only just be big enough to cope with loading all the elc files at dump time. Unfortunately byte compilation uses temacs and generally requires *more* heap space than that used at dump time. Thus if you need files byte compiled you need to start off with the default sheap-adjust.h sizes which give about 8mb of heap. Then at dump time the static heap will be resized to be just big enough for dumping. Doing make beta will do this for you, simply building will not. Also byte compilation takes up more heap over time os it perfectly possible that if the build fails simply restarting it will fix things. If the static heap size is simply not enough (seems unlikely) then you could try changing the static heap adjustment to a positive number. andy -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Andy Piper Principal Consultant, BEA Systems Ltd
