Trying to install gnatformat but running out of memory

General

Hello,

I am trying to install gnatformat via alire, but I keep running out of memory. I have 8 GB, so aprox 6 GB usable by the user. I think it has to do with alire launching too many builds at the same time.

Best regards,

The problem is almost certainly libadalang, it contains some very big files.

Do you have any idea on how to could I get the binary then?

Easiest way would be to setup a GitHub actions build. I have static build on a recent libadalang here though which might be enough if you want to work out how to point Alire at it: Release Libadalang static 26.0.1001 · Prunt3D/prunt_alire_index · GitHub

There’s also a chance that building with a single thread will help, use alr build -- -j1 or similar.

I think I will try this first:

I don’t think gnatformat is built there, although maybe it should be.

That is true! I misread the post and believed it was availiable inside it. My bad. I will look into your approach.

I think what you’re searching for is actually here Release gnatformat-26.0-1 · alire-project/GNAT-FSF-builds · GitHub
