Hi, Deepak,
Your message does not contain enough information to figure out that is
going wrong.
The out of memory error with CACAO and old Sun' jres is solved long time
ago, and the solution is described at
http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathDeveloperGuidelines.
But if you just use the unmodified Fedora installation, it is likely
still gij - based and should run ecj using all available memory without
problems.
Sometimes it may be really difficult to figure out that is going wrong
without having hands-on access. However you should read carefully the
GNU Classpath hackers guide, trying to follow all steps exactly. Also,
try to run the application 'top' (while compiling) in another window. If
it shows that the running process really swallows all your memory (swap
including), you need to upgrade the machine and likely nothing else can
be done. Read about various .configure options and search the web.
If you really cannot solve the problem yourself, please post questions
to the GNU Classpath discussion mailing list, not to the individual
developers. Then the answered question will stay in the mailing list
archive and another person with the similar problem will be able to find
it with the simple Google search. Also, hackers typically prefer not to
start long individual consultations as it takes for them too much time.
When posting to the mailing list, do not forget to attach all error
messages that the build script have printed for you. Just saying
'nothing works' does not help to locate the problem even when that is true.
Good luck
Audrius
