| As strange as it sounds for it to fail because of RAM limits, it definitely does as it has happened to me before on boxes with small amounts. Now, you may or may not be able to get it to compile with excessive amounts of swap standing in for RAM, I'm not sure. Anyway, this happens to people, since the ebuilds for eclipse-sdk specifically check how much RAM you have and then tell you it's probably not enough if it's below 768 MB. |

from the ebuild: | Code: | ewarn "To build Eclipse, at least 768MB of RAM is recommended."
ewarn "Your machine has less RAM. Continuing anyway." |
it should be fine, if not submit a bug report

eclipse is written in java. java in portage typically uses Ant to compile the source into bytefiles. It is a very real possibility that the limit is serious. Personally I'd try removing the check from the ebuild. Then again why not just try installing eclipse by hand from the binary pacakge on eclipse.org? its all contained in one directory which you can just extract to say, /opt/eclipse. The by hand method has the added bonus is letting you use Eclipse's built in update manager without getting out of sync with portage. (emerge 3.0.1 in portage, use update manager to get to 3.0.2, portage still thinks 3.0.1 and wants to update again, etc)

i use binary package. downloaded by hand. it is way more convenient than trying to compile eclipse from portage.
in near futire i will buy additional 512 ram and then we will see.
thanks |

| I think it makes sense to have the binary packages for eclipse that would pull the milestone/integrationbuild/release from the eclipse mirrors. I for one have some problems with the java toolchain and java5 is not fully compatible with many packages (I tried compiling eclipse with 1.4.2 to be precise). I'm kind of very hopefull of the promises for the java roadmap and some talks about having tomcat 5.5 soon but let's not get too excited too soon. |

i managed to build eclipse 3.1m6 with jdk-1.4.2.08
i do not know why so huge amount of ram is needed, i built it very fast and without killing my CPU with 100% load. |

| I think the easiest way is just to use distcc, if you have more machines that is. |

Because downloading the binary from eclipse.org works on it's own?
Well, it does.
