Re: [IBMiOSS] gmake: *** virtual memory exhausted. Stop.

That's interesting - thanks. So using SSH I don't get that error any more. However, gmake fails with " gmake: cc: Command not found"

Is the a config step required?

The following is from Tony Cairns (IBM, PASE/and-more expert)....

Aaron,
I do not have id midrange forum (should probably do that sometime) ... Stop using call qp2term (bad), switch to ssh (good).

call qp2term

gmake -v

And here's a partial paste from the following URL:
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/IBM%20i%20Technology%20Updates/page/GCC


#GCC compiles

Open Source projects require many tools beyond gcc compiler. Open Source projects requires c coding knowledge. Open Source projects require domain specific knowledge. All in all, simply impossible to describe on this wiki page all aspects need to learn to develop successful Open Source projects.
In fact, most likely that only experienced c coders and/ or Open Source developers will use the actual gcc environment.

Tip: GCC build tools can be sensitive to shell environment. I recommend using ssh, common starting point for most Linux/AIX/PASE developers. More to point, I NEVER recommend using call qp2term or qsh, because green screen sudo tty (horrible shell), can result in odd errors with Open Source complex build scenarios (virtual memory exhausted). When in doubt about tools, you may often find help from the IBM i community forum at http://archive.midrange.com/opensource/ .

At risk of insulting knowledgeable developers, here is the truth most of us learn about developing Open Source.
