#42320: py-bottleneck @0.8.0 unbuildable on small machines ----------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: drjesacco@… | Owner: stromnov@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: py-bottleneck | ----------------------------+------------------------ Changes (by ryandesign@…): * owner: macports-tickets@… => stromnov@… * port: py-bottleneck-0.8.0 => py-bottleneck Old description:

GCC runs out of memory while building py-bottleneck-0.8.0 on a small machine with limited RAM [old G4 PowerMac]. The problem is the two generated C files are huge:

func.c 17MB move.c 12MB

Splitting each of these up into smaller files might solve the problem. I do not know enough about Cython to try this myself so I contacted Keith Goodman, asking about the feasibility of doing this.

Keith responded [29-Jan-2014]:

"Yeah, that must be painful on smaller machines. I'm sure things could be broken down into smaller chunks. But right now I'm just doing minimal maintenance on bottleneck."

It would be up to the developer of this software to correct this problem. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42320#comment:1> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
