Yade

Compilation problematic. Provide generic binaries please.

Asked by fluxus

Could binaries for other distros than Debian based? Compiling Yade is no fun at all on a low spec machine. Statically linked generic binaries of stable versions would be nice. Packages for the usual suspects (e.g. OpenSUSE, Fedora, Arch) would even be better.

In a virtual machine with 1.5 Gb RAM I had to add --param ggc-min-expand=1 --param ggc-min-heapsize=32768 to CXX_FLAGS and barely escaped thrashing and out of memory errors. Even so g++ consumed up to 1.2 Gb of memory.

Yade-binaries with statically linked libraries are not possible, because
one need to compile statically all dependent libs, which is a nightmare.
Now there is a good trend in distros to drop all static binaries and it
makes sense.

Volunteers for creating RPM-packages are always welcome.

Best regards

Anton
