Compilation issues on Ubuntu 14.04?

[lbarratt]

Hey, thanks for erlang-certifi

I'm not sure if it's specific to my setup, but I seem to be running into compile issues on Ubuntu 14.04

Compiling with rebar compile seems to fail a random number of times until it eventually succeeds?

# Using a fresh Vagrant box (ubuntu/trusty64) + Erlang 18.2

vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~/test/erlang-certifi$ rebar compile
==> erlang-certifi (compile)
Killed
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~/test/erlang-certifi$ rebar compile
==> erlang-certifi (compile)
Compiled src/certifi.erl
Compiled src/certifi_weak.erl
Compiled src/certifi_cacerts.erl

My use case specifically is with Elixir 1.2.1 + HTTPoison. I see a similar result with mix deps.compile (I am guessing that this also using rebar for certifi?)

I've being trying to figure out what's going on but I have no idea what i'm looking for here!

How much ram did you allocate to the vm?

@benoitc Have you looked into reducing the memory requirements? We get reports from time to time about this dependency failing to compile on machines with <1gb memory.

@benoitc Thanks for the reply.

The VM had 512mb. Bumping to 1gb to seems to allow enough memory to compile consistently. It seems to occupy > 600mb when compiling, so I guess the kernel is killing the process in this case

Just an FYI for anyone else experiencing this issue, this seems to compile okay with rebar3. Memory usage seems to be greatly reduced compared with rebar?

Specifying manager: :rebar3 in Mix will compile with rebar3:

{:certifi, "0.3.0", manager: :rebar3, override: true}

[benoitc]

should be better in 0.4.0 let me know :)

[lbarratt]

Much better, thank you @benoitc!

[benoitc]

it's now available via hex. Enjoy!

also thanks for the feedback :)
