Make - fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

[duga]

Trying to compile AROS under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Building parseoffsets...
make[10555]: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
/bin/sh: 0: Cannot fork
make[10556]: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
Makefile:325: recipe for target '/home/wurst/AROS/tools/crosstools/binutils-2.32-aros.diff' failed

Any hints for a make newbie? Make is eating several GB's of memory before this happens.


Edit: So it seems binutils-2.32-aros.diff is located in AROS/tools/crosstools/gnu and not in AROS/tools/crosstools/

Edit 2: By copying everything in AROS/tools/crosstools/gnu to AROS/tools/crosstools/ at least it passes "Building parseoffsets" but not surprisingly fails later instead. But atleast no more out of memory.

Edit 3: Other problems to mention:
In the genmf.py file:
if len(files) <> 2: should be  if len(files) != 2:
print "Usage:",sys.argv[0],"tmplfile [inputfile outputfile]" should be print ("Usage:",sys.argv[0],"tmplfile [inputfile outputfile]")

Seems the script(s) are written for Python 2. I corrected many of the errors with the "2to3" tool, but not enough to run through the whole genmf.py file.

I just saw on the developer mailing list that the nightly build server crashed because it ran out of memory. Something is wrong in current code base.

Thanks for the info!

The simplest way for you to fix this is to revert the last two commits made on 3rd may.

Thanks! I reverted to 56379.

Now it is compiling, but it seems I have to convert several (all?) .py to version 3. So far:
/AROS/bin/linux-x86_64/tools/genmf.py
/AROS/scripts/cpy-dir-rec.py
/AROS/rom/dos/genstrings.py

[deadwood]

I'm running Mint 19 which is essencially Ubuntu 18.04 and I don't get any problems with those scripts. (I'm running python 2.7.15).

Running 3.6, that's why. http://aros.sourceforge.net/documentation/developers/compiling.php says "Python 2.2.1+".


So far these are converted:
/AROS/bin/linux-x86_64/tools/genmf.py
/AROS/scripts/cpy-dir-rec.py
/AROS/rom/dos/genstrings.py
/AROS/workbench/system/AboutAROS/scripts/sponsors2header.py

[MMAKE] Making AROS in

Finished!

So, how do I start the compiled i386 AROS, hosted under Linux (64-bit)?

(I have a native AROS installation on another PC)

[Mazze]

There should be an AROSBootStrap executable in a sub directory.

[wawa]

cd to bin/linux-i386/AROS/boot/linux
and
./AROSBootstrap

[duga]

./AROSBootstrap

Thanks.

Maybe I should compile it again, this time converting all .py files before I start.

[Mazze]

Nope. You have to install libxcursor under Ubuntu.

[duga]

Nope. You have to install libxcursor under Ubuntu.

It was already installed, but I needed the 32-bit version (due to running 32-bit AROS under 64-bit Ubuntu).

sudo apt-get install libxcursor-dev:i386

Now AROS is booting. Yay. Thanks for the support!


Suggestion for http://aros.sourceforge.net/documentation/developers/compiling.php

Python 2.2.1+ (Should be: "Python 2.2.1+ but not 3.x". Or: The scripts should be converted to 3.x which I managed to do with the 2to3 tool. Wikipedia claims that 2.x won't be supported after 2020.)


Suggestion for https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aros/Platforms/Installing_on_*nix#build_Aros_pc-i386_on_64bit_Linux

To start AROS
    > cd AROS
    > boot/AROSBootstrap --fullscreen -m 256

The "boot/AROSBootstrap" string could be written clearer.

im not sure how do people miss that all the time, aint these packages mentioned in docs?

Have a look here, maybe you can add what's missing? http://aros.sourceforge.net/documentation/developers/compiling.php
