Hello,

I'm trying to build OLA (Open Lighting Architecture) and I ran into some
difficulty.  Ola is often used as a service, but at this point all I'm
interested in is making an ordinary package.  The build times out after
a certain point:

    g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.    -I./include -I./include -Wall -Wformat -W -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -pthread -Werror  -DTEST_SRC_DIR=\".\" -DTEST_BUILD_DIR=\".\" -g -O2 -pthread -MT common/messaging/common_messaging_DescriptorTester-SchemaPrinterTest.o -MD -MP -MF common/messaging/.deps/common_messaging_DescriptorTester-SchemaPrinterTest.Tpo -c -o common/messaging/common_messaging_DescriptorTester-SchemaPrinterTest.o `test -f 'common/messaging/SchemaPrinterTest.cpp' || echo './'`common/messaging/SchemaPrinterTest.cpp
    building of `/gnu/store/m0qkm9zwjaaynnn8pl0r1m6avbv0lhs0-ola-0.10.2.drv' timed out after 3600 seconds of silence

    guix build: error: build failed: build of `/gnu/store/m0qkm9zwjaaynnn8pl0r1m6avbv0lhs0-ola-0.10.2.drv' failed

Full build log here:

Attached is the package definition so far.

Is anything happening in the background?  Or does it just sit there
doing nothing?

If you think that it just needs more time you can tell “guix build” to
tolerate longer periods of silence with “--max-silent-time=99999” or
similar.

I try to build it on my machine using your recipe (I copy the package
definition into entertainment.scm and add the required imports) and it
works.

@ build-succeeded /gnu/store/m0qkm9zwjaaynnn8pl0r1m6avbv0lhs0-ola-0.10.2.drv -
/gnu/store/16y19wwciazzrnw4if8g1d5b8i1piaw9-ola-0.10.2

Does you machine has very little ram?

Okay, that is encouraging.  Yes, I'm building this on a 2GHz Intel Core2
Duo laptop with 1GB of memory.

Compiling C++ code can be memory-intensive, so it may be that your
machine was swapping.

Hi, I have a favor to ask of anybody in the guix community - is there
anybody who would be willing to finish this package for me, since I
can't build and test it?  This is a library that I need to use, but
maybe the only way that I can use it (until I upgrade my computer) will
be to install it as a substitute.

Or are there any other suggestions for how I can build this myself?

Thank you,
