gitit 0.8 came out yesterday, and thanks to its upgrade to happstack 6, can now be built on the current set of HABS packages.<div>Provided you have at least 4 GB of RAM, I&#39;m guessing.  It looks like the linking the executable stage takes up 2.5 GB of RAM, and it&#39;s not going to build in any reasonable amount of time on my 64-bit 2GB box.</div>
<div>I was going to try dynamically linking it, but the command-line option for that doesn&#39;t seem support in the installed version of Cabal.</div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/600">http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/600</a></div>
<div>So, I was thinking of firing up a Large (7.5 GB) EC2 instance to compile it.  Does a similar option exist for 32-bit?</div><div>gitit is a nice tool to run, but the build requirements might put off casual usage - this is a real advantage to having pre-built binary packages available.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, in the future, should I throw in a heads up when packages take say, over 1GB of RAM to build?</div><div><br></div><div>-Leif Warner</div>
