#1106 — Makefiles & Wimpslots

Hello,
When using the Norcroft C tools, and double clicking on a Makefile, I 
keep getting the error: AMU *** No writable memory at this address ***

Is there a way to tell the C tools to setup a wimpslot for this?

As at the moment, I keep having to manually run each line of the 
makefile that calls 'cc' either from a * prompt or an obey file!

Thanks,
Rob.

Increasing the 'Next' slot in the Task Manager should suffice. There 
is no science involved here I just take a large handful usually in 
excess of 6MB.

That wont work. !AMU uses the FrontEnd module and the AMU task it 
creates gets the amount of memory configured in the Desc file if 
specified, a default if not. I can't remember the exact format off hand, 
but if you look at the Desc files in the other DDE applications, you 
should find one with a memory allocation line, which you can transplant 
in to AMU's.

Indeed. Sample from a !AMU.Desc file:

----
tool_details_start
   name          "Amu";
   version        "5.27" ;
   filetype      &FE1;
   wimpslot      1024k;
   has_extended_cmdline;
tool_details_end
----

Note the "wimpslot" line.

Just for good measure: it is advisable to ignore the !Make tool, and use
!AMU directly. The makefiles created by !Make are simply horrible and
will give troubles sooner or later.

Set your Next Slot to 5MB?

I think the way I used to do it with Nettle was a TaskObey file, 
containg something like:

Wimpslot -min 8192K -max 8192K
amu

But it's been quite a while since I did that, so I could be 
misremembering :)

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, as yet, increasing the next slot 
has solved my problem.
I've made a note of the issue with !AMU, so when that crops up I don't 
have to seek more advice here!

Many Thanks,
Rob.
