Compiling on Linux makes my PC freeze. #885

Closed BadWinston closed 10 months ago

BadWinston commented 10 months ago

I followed your instructions from https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Samples/blob/main/docs/build.adoc#linux. I cloned the repository to my pc. I ran command: cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -Bbuild/linux -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG Pass, no errors. I ran command: cmake --build build/linux --config Release --target vulkan_samples -j$(nproc) At 48% compiling progress my pc was not responding anymore. I rebooted and launched the linux taskmanager and ran the second command again. My pc froze at 52% compiling progress with a 100% memory usage. I have 8 GB of memory, that should be enough to compile examples, I think. Apparently there are gcc processes who never terminate each of approx. 500 MB.

Hey @BadWinston, this is likely due to nproc reading empty on your system. Try running the command with a fixed number of threads like 4 or 8. For instance cmake --build build -- -j 8

Command cmake --build build/linux --config Release --target vulkan_samples -j 4 worked indeed. Thank you for your time and quick correct response!
