Bug #793
compilation on fedora 23: some worrying "error messages"
Description
Compilation on the new computer (with fedora 23, due for release tomorrow ?!!? according to Wikipedia) produced several worrying messages in TmpFactorDir
saying Fatal error; compilation terminated
However, compilation proceeds anyway!
History
#1 Updated by John Abbott over 8 years ago
I shall try to investigate this, but it may take a long time. The new computer seems to be quite fast (e.g. more than twice as fast as my old portable), but it takes ages to compile: compiling and linking one example took about 1 minute real time (about about 1 sec CPU time).

The new computer took 100mins to compile and run the examples. Just running the examples takes only 30secs.

... get a new portable (remember: use or lose it ;-)
Jokes apart: I think we should not worry too much about a machine with no local disk (I guess that's where the problem is)

I'm recompiling (with full debugging), and the mysterious Fatal error
messages have not reappeared; and anyway despite them, the first compilation completed, and the tests passed... very odd!
#5 Updated by John Abbott over 8 years ago
I'm compiling some other programs; compilation time varies from 2mins to almost 5mins. I'll ask the technical guy if this is normal. Actually I think it is the linking which is taking so long... I don't think we can do anything about this (except perhaps remove lots of functions from CoCoALib, which is hardly practical).

- % Done changed from 0 to 10
- Estimated time set to 3.10 h
The Fatal error
messages appeared once again when I tried building CoCoALib from a new unpackaged tar file. The errors about about the file gmp.h
not being found during the creation of the dependency files.
I configured using a non-installed version of GMP-6.1.0.
Anyway, the internal dependencies should be independent of where the CoCoA source tree is.

- Status changed from In Progress to Closed
- % Done changed from 10 to 100
I have not noticed this problem lately. It wouldn't surprise me to find that it is due to the "wobbly" remote file system.
Closing.
