* libGC isn't ready to be the default quite yet... [MouseJstr]
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Enough people have asked so... Once you grab a copy of the
|
|
|
+ libGC library from (http://amber.stormbirds.org/~joshs/gc6.3.tar),
|
|
|
+ you start up a bash shell from inside cygwin and untar
|
|
|
+ the gc6.3.tar. This will produce a gc6.3 directory. Then
|
|
|
+ cd into that directory and type ./configure. Once that is
|
|
|
+ done you type "make" and then "make install". This will
|
|
|
+ spray the various includes and libraries all over your
|
|
|
+ cygwin install (most in /usr/local).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Now, edit Makefile and change the CC line to use the
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ CC = gcc -pipe -DGCOLLECT
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ entry. Also change the GCLIB to
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ GCLIB = -L/usr/local/lib -lgc
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Remember to comment out the ones no longer used. Do a clean
|
|
|
+ build and good luck. Obviously, this has not been tested
|
|
|
+ by that many people so you really are on the cutting edge
|
|
|
+ but if you have good results, send me a note
|
|
|
+ (joshs@stormbirds.org) so that we can see if it really is
|
|
|
+ ready for prime time.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ What should you see? Well, the map-server should not
|
|
|
+ grow/consume extra memory anymore. More so, it should use
|
|
|
+ dramatically less memory then it did before using the
|
|
|
+ garbage collector.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The downside is that it will consume a little more CPU...
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ The question is, how much? how laggy? what effect on lots
|
|
|
+ of players? I've heard stories saying it makes the server
|
|
|
+ unplayable and others told me that they saw no
|
|
|
+ player-visible effects at all.
