The linking step of a build can use large amounts of memory (>100x morethan the final binary size). Running out of RAM often causes a(near-)hang not a crash, even without swap. In the old days Linux kernel was able to kill any program if starting eating more memory than it shall. I tried to play with ulimits but failed to make this work as I expect. Help would be appreciated. To check, try running the compile with a system monitor (e.g.gnome-system-monitor) open. I tried with top but did not get clear suspicion. I'll try with gnome-system-monitor. --Cheers, Abou Al Montacir |
