build crashes

[sakshale]

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 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

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.
