- I have been having this problem getting MetaFont to compile.
- While using Terry's solution I found that the program would not
- compile using the command line from the shell but did compile
- when i left off the -O option, it compiled correctly
-
- gcc -g -O -I.. -c mf1.c
- gcc: Program cc1 got fatal signal 6.
- *** Error code 1
-
- but
-
- gcc -g -I.. -c mf1.c
- returns with no errors and creates mf1.o
- which will compile and link with no errors.
- is it possible that the -O option of gcc uses too much memory
- (i have 8M real, 16M swap but have X386 running)
- or could there be a problem with gcc.
-
- The problem was fixed with a patch to the code which reduced various
- arrays in the program. but this was not useful to me (it did not allow
- all of the characters for some fonts.
