[MirageOS-devel] Compiling on/for ARM

[Magnus Therning <magnus@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought github/mirage-decks would be a good first project to build
on/for my Cubietruck.  So after installing the mirage tool via `opam`
I cloned the decks project and proceeded to build it in unix mode.
`make configure` worked just fine, but `make build` did not.
Apparently `camlp4` requires more memory than what's available:

~~~

I'm building this in Dom0:

~~~
mirage@cubietruck:~$ sudo xl list
Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
Domain-0                                     0   512     2     r-----     154.7
~~~

Is there some way to control the amount of memory that `camlp4` uses?  Or maybe 
I'm just going about this in the wrong way?

Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.
