Prompted by Jonathan Grant's article I've been playing with running the MSVC++ command line tools under Wine. In particular I'm trying to compile and link a large DLL - about 4M in size. The problem is the amount of memory used by link.exe. At the moment, with 256M of real memory and 1G of swap I quickly run out. Under Windows2000, on the same machine, the link takes a long time (30mins - 1 hour) but does complete. I am assuming that under Windows2000 (where I think I have less swap) link.exe is eventually being denied additional resources and runs with what it's got. Under wine it seems that all it's resource requests are granted until the kernel kills the process when swap runs out. Is there any way to get Wine to limit the resources it grants, but in a graceful way that can be handled by the program being run? Any suggestions welcome.
