Memory Shortage When Compiling Inside X/qt

[xjqian]

Code: [Select]

export TMPDIR=/mnt/card/.tmpand it no longer bombs out.


Where did you put that line? No matter where I put it, either before croot (i.e. .xintrc) or after croot (i.e. startd), it still bombs out.

That doesn't work. Just run it from the command prompt before starting make or configue or whatever.

Nope, that doesn't work either. (I mounted my sd card into the chroot env. Then point the TMPDIR to there as you described.)

I don't understand why you're doing what you're doing?

Why are you setting TMPDIR after chroot? Why are you chrooting? Are you compiling in debian?

Anyhow, you must do this in Qtopia, i.e. run a console, and do this. Then you can mount bind the card to a chrooted location, then chroot and compile, if this is what you're doing.

I understand this is an Qtopia problem. I works for me now after putting the following line in the .xinitrc

Code: [Select]

export TMPDIR=/mnt/card/tmp
su -c 'mount /dev/mmcda1 `cat /etc/debroot`/mnt/card'
Interesting enough, previously it didn't work for me as I mount bind the card to a chrooted location /mnt/sd instead of /mnt/card. Seems the mount points need to be coherent inside and outside chroot enviroment, which is beyond my expectation.

Resurrecting an old post. I've been trying to compile a relatively large C++ package native in Pocketworkstation and I keep getting the dreaded Memory Status thing coming up. If I leave it it will crash Pocketworkstation.

I have tried:

In qtopia terminal "export TMPDIR=/mnt/card/tmp" on a 512MB sd card for both root and zaurus. Then "xlauncher debian". Still bombs out.

Also,

Code: [Select]

export TMPDIR=/mnt/card/tmp
su -c 'mount /dev/mmcda1 `cat /etc/debroot`/mnt/card'in /home/zaurus/.xinitrc
then "xlauncher debian" and it still doesn't work.

I even tried Shiroikuma's open and close qt apps but it takes a long time to do and it eventually bombs out.

Any ideas? help? Meanie?

What does echo TMPDIR say after you chroot?

Is the card accessible under debian, have you bind mounted it?

[DoTheDog]

Hi Shiroikuma,
How do you bind it in chroot? when I do "echo $TMPDIR" it comes back blank in Pocketworkstation. I can see the card though.

EDIT:
In qt I tried
"mount -o bind /mnt/card /hdd2/debroot/mnt/card"
and it still comes up blank in pocketworkstation.

Edit2:
Looks like the card is already mounted in debian. mount in qt gives:
/dev/mmcda1 on /usr/mnt.rom/card type vfat (rw,noatime)

So I tried export TMPDIR=/mnt/card/tmp in Pocketworkstation.
Now in chroot echo $TMPDIR, gives /mnt/card/tmp AND in qt I get the same, but I still get the Qt Memory status thing.

Help?
