Hi all,
Isn't "-T." supposed to tell all passes of a compilation to write
temporary files in the current directory?? I am trying to compile
all of the V1.5 commands. A few of the programs appear not to link.
I try this:
cc -F -T. -D_MINIX -D_POSIX_SOURCE -S compress.c
And get:
No space on root device (RAM disk)
cmi4.s, 7: expr syntax err
I think asld should be writing temp files in the current directory if
I specify "-T.". Am I missing something?
How should I go about increasing my RAM disk size, if that's the only
option? Ideally, I would like the RAM disk to empty, as my root file
system lives on /dev/hd3. Can I skip the step where /dev/hd3 gets read
into memory?
Thanks,

Indeed, all passes of compilation. But that seems to exclude the pass of asld. So thats where your problems arise. I have found no way to persuade asld to use anything else than the /tmp dir. >I am trying to compile > all of the V1.5 commands.

A solution would be to mount a large enough file system on the /tmp dir before starting compilation. asld will be slower of course but there would be room enough. > How should I go about increasing my RAM disk size, if that's the only > option?
