build crashes

Starting about two patches back, my build has been failing. I have a standard build script that I have been using for ages and have not notices any announcements on requirements changes and search does not show any references to xmlconv.cpp. The build ends with:

My build script is:

export QTDIR=/usr/local/src/qt-2.3.2
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

export QTDIR PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

make -f Makefile.dist

./configure --with-qt-dir=${QTDIR} --with-qt-includes=${QTDIR}/include --with-qt-libraries=${QTDIR}/lib

make -j3
make install

i suggest you read the signal 11 faq

http://www.tldp.org/FAQ/sig11/html/index.html

deals with gcc sgefaulting while compiling the kernel, but it may give you some ideas anyway.

Does it always crash at the same point ?

I've had this problem various times, but crashing at different points each time... until I found out that the problem was coming from my PC overheating...

I've removed the side cover, ventilated it manually and ... perfect compilation !!! I.T. is not an exact science :D

Hope it helps,

Alfred

The owner of the sig11 web site recommended that I look into a compiler upgrade as the error always occured at the same place.

I have upgraded to gcc-c++-3.1-1 and compiles are now succeeding. I won't be able to try out the new binary until tomorrow, but for now, just being able to compile is good enough. :)
