Compiling error (memory?)

[mvexel]

I posted this downstream at https://github.com/osmcode/pyosmium/issues/72 but this may actually be the better location.

I run into a compiler error when compiling protozero:

protozero found in 'protozero-1.6.3'.
x86_64-linux-gnu-g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-5/README.Bugs> for instructions.
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-g++' failed with exit status 4

My best guess is this is a memory constraint related error.. This is on a Linode 2G with (you guessed it) 2GB of RAM. Is there a way around this? I cannot easily upgrade this machine.

Have you tried creating a swapfile?

sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
sudo chmod 0600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

Thanks for the suggestion. However:

I don’t know about libosmium, but protozero compiles without error here on a Debian 9 and Ubuntu 18 VPS both with 512MB RAM and 2GB swap. Are you just running ‘make’ or something like ‘make -j2’? If the latter, try the former because while concurrency is faster it also uses more RAM. I have no other suggestions, maybe a Mapbox dev has an idea?

No, this is the wrong location. You are not compiling protozero, you are compiling pyosmium.
