Have you fallen into trouble linking wxWidgets due to exhausted memory ? This happens to me with TDM-GCC 4.7.1 but not with GCC 3.4.5. I know this to forum about wxWidgets but it is used for the CB so I ask.
Under a 32bit system, with LTO enabled, yes, that will happen (LTO eats up about 2.7 GiB of working set for that task). It
just barely works if you patch the
ld executable to have the
LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag set and reboot with
/3G. Or well, if you use 64 bits of course, you don't have any trouble.
Without enabling LTO, you shouldn't have any such issues, ever -- unless you run on an embarrassingly low spec machine with too little physical RAM. I've been building wxWidgets on machines with 1GiB of main memory no problem.
