ouch gcc crash. please can you try again to see if it happens again?

you can trigger a specific module build with "sudo ./retropie_packages gpsp" for example

[joolswills]

could be an out of memory issue also (so gcc getting killed) is this a 512mb pie (re-adding comment as accidentally deleted)

[nilsbyte]

btw: I cloned the script yesterday 08-07-14 at 8 PM.

My Pi hs the Model B. 512 MB. Memory split set to 256 MB.

[petrockblog]

I have committed a patch that enhances the swap file for the time of building gpsp. This should solve this issue.

[nilsbyte]

It did work in my last test where I set memory split to 64. But enhancing the swap file is good too :)
