Dear list, This problem has been discussed: seralization library can not be built under mac because gcc will hang when compiling xml_grammar.cpp (See the attached email from this list). Has anyone investigated this issue? Thanks. Bo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On 4/18/05, Tom Denniston wrote:

That works, all the targets seem to compile except one (see below). It seems to just hang. Is this the one you were having trouble with. what surprises me is that I have 1 GB of ram and still have the problem.

The ouput I am seeing is below:

Tom-Dennistons-Computer:/development/libraries/boost_1_32_0 tomdenniston$ /development/bjam-3.1.10-1/bjam -sTOOLS=darwin -sPYTHON_VERSION=2.3 ...found 8239 targets... ...updating 261 targets... darwin-C++-action bin/boost/libs/serialization/build/libboost_serialization.a/darwin/release/xml_grammar.o

That's the one. Perhaps it's not a memory problem but rather a compiler bug? I haven't ever bothered to dig into it because I am not using the serialization library. As I said before, I usually restrict the build to just the libraries that I need. It saves time and space. -Patrick
