Hi all I was wondering if pypy-c can be built on Mac OS X, and if there are any special options to use? I tried building it on a Linux/x86 machine and it worked fine (took a while to build), but on a mac, it seems to bring the machine down completely (the machine becomes non-responsive during the process). This is a mac running Leopard with Intel core-duo processors. Is this a known issue? Thanks Raj

On my iBook with 1.25G total RAM, it ran out of free RAM and started swapping heavily, so I killed it. On my iMac (core duo, Leopard, 2G RAM) it built successfully in a reasonable time; however I was not trying to do anything else at the time. It used about 1.1G of RAM and about the same of virtual memory IIRC. Andrew.
