Subject: [gentoo-user] Out of memory during GCC compile
Date: Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:34:43

1 I'm trying to compile GCC on a remote system with 192MB RAM. It's
2 completed successfully before but now it uses up all RAM. The compile
3 doesn't stop but it must be thrashing. I have MAKEOPTS="-j1" in
4 /etc/make.conf. Am I jeopardizing my HD by letting it swap on the
5 compile right now? I've ordered an upgrade to the max of 512MB. I've
6 stopped all processes using up memory that I don't need including X.
7 Is there anything else I can do to get through the compile with 192MB
8 RAM?
