I highly recommend building this package in a clean chroot. This avoids the use of a AUR helper, which sometimes uses /tmp as the stating directory, which often gets filled completely by gcc's build process.

It also provides a clean environment, which minimizes interactions between your current environment and gcc's build process.

@EndruK: you are right. <sys/ustat.h> was removed in glibc 2.28. I'm looking for a fix.

@TheEbolaDoc: you are experiencing the same issue.

The build fails for me:

I cannot find ustat.h in my filesystem. Does this come with another dependency?

Hey guys! The build fails for me (due to unknown reasons):

The source in the PKGBUILD http://isl.gforge.inria.fr/isl-${_islver}.tar.bz2 is down

there is a mirror at https://mirror.sobukus.de/files/src/isl/isl-${_islver}.tar.bz2

@snarfies that's a pacman bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/58820

Trying to install this via pacaur yields the following:

@ector jdk is needed for gcc6-gcj (a Java compiler). I might split it into a separate package so we can skip the dependencies and speed up the build.

@momoe @marty @anoki: yes, 8 GB is about the space you will need. If your tmpfs is not that big, don't build it there. Try to use plain makepkg to build the package if your AUR helper uses /tmp.

You can improve compile times by using all of your CPU cores. For example, for a quad-core CPU, set MAKEFLAGS="-j4" in /etc/makepkg.conf. The build takes less than an hour on my 2013 quad-core CPU.

anoki commented on 2018-07-24 12:06 (UTC)

@momoe:@marty I have the same problem, except I'm using manjaro. I tried several times, and each time the build fails because "No space left on device".
