Reply To: SCons compilation error (Windows XP, 32bit)

(:biggrin:) I wouldn’t even have noticed, if you hadn’t told me!

Current status: After having removed/renamed __external/lib/z.lib__ the compilation process runs to a certain point (I guess pretty much one of the last steps), where another error occurs:

Although running a x86 system with 1GB RAM here at work, the peak memory usage of approx. 1.7 GB RAM should be okay (0.7 RAM addressed as swap).
At home I tried the same thing with 4 GB RAM installed (3.2 GB available) and got the same error.

The only documentation of this “feature” seems to be a bug report from 2002 regarding “GNU Linker”:

Any workaround possible?
