I’m currently trying to build wxHaskell as described in the Haskell wiki here. Unfortunately I always get the following error message after running the mingw32-make command:
c:/mingw/bin/…/lib/gcc/mingw2/4.5.2/../../../../mingw32/bin/ld.exe:
out of memory allocation 31395840
bytescollect2: ld returned 1 exit status
mingw32-make: *
[….\lib\gcc_dll\wxmsw28u_gcc_custom.dll]
Error 1
I know that this is not directly a wxHaskell problem, but it arises only if I use the compiler option “MONOLITHIC=1”, which wxHaskell seems to require. So maybe one of the other wxHaskell users knows a solution to this problem.
Since my system specs and the compilers might be of interest, here they are:
- Windows 7
- 4 GB RAM
- Haskell Platform 2011.2.0.1
- MSYS 1.0.11
- Automated MinGW installer from here
The strange thing is, that I got it to compile, before I reinstalled windows the other week. Unfortunately I don’t know if I was using another MinGW version then or if something else was different.
EDIT: I could solve the problem using TDM GCC
Just to answer this question: Using TDM GCC solves the problem.
