Subject: qemu needs > 2 GB of RAM to build?
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:39:06 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EC6B45A.9060107@intel.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I'm testing building core-image-minimal in a resource-constrained 
environment (a VirtualBox VM with 2300 MB of RAM allocated to it). With 
PARALLEL_MAKE set to -j4 (the VM does have two CPUs allocated), I'm 
finding that the build of qemu-native fails because the OOM killer steps 
in and kills gcc. This is happening during the linking phase of building 
qemu.

If this is true, I assume it would pretty much mean that no one can 
build our images without more than 2 GB of RAM. Is this true? Is this 
something for us to be concerned about?

Scott
