 |
|
hi all!
i recently tried to compile the new gcc 6.4. my /tmp is moved to tmpfs with 3gb of space. former upgrades of gcc (version 5.x) did not go until i resized tmp to 4gb.
| Code: |
mount -o remount,size=4G /tmp
|
but this does not work with 6.4 due to insufficient space. 4,5 gb are also not enough. my server has only 6gb of ram so i am not sure if i can go to 5gb?
i think the best choice would be to temporarly revert the move to normal root partition on my ssd... can the revert be done on running system? and how?
greets

You can also create a temporary swap file and reduce parallel job with a lower MAKEOPTS value

snIP3r,
| Code: | | PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" |
which comes from your environment, can be set in make.conf and even on a per package basis, as its an environment variable.
Lets say you want to change it for sys-devel/gcc only. It needs to point to some space where the portage user has read and write access.
There are two steps.
Create a file /etc/portage/env/bigbuild The file name can be anything but it must be in /etc/portage/env/.
Its a good idea if the file name means something to you.
In bigbuild put PORTAGE_TMPDIR="</some/new/portage/buildspace>"
In /etc/portage/package.env/ make a file called bigstuff. Again the name needs to mean something to you.
In bigstuff, put | Code: | | sys-devel/gcc bigbuild |
When you build sys-devel/gcc, the environment changes in bigbuild will take effect for the one package only.
You can list other packages here that need the same treatment.
