Experiencing compile error on Ubuntu 18.04LTS

[yonghoonlee]

I am getting following error while compiling with gcc, g++, gfortran, openblas, and all other dependencies with ubuntu apt packaged libraries.
I turned on with the option BUILD_OPENFAST_CPP_API and BUILD_TESTING options with cmake.
Also, I cloned directly from the master branch of official github repository and recursively cloned with the submodules included in the openfast.
Following is the error message I am getting now:

Can you describe your system? Is this a virtual machine?

[yonghoonlee]

Yes, this is the VM running on VMWare Fusion on Mac.
VM setting was 1-core, 4GB RAM, 60GB of mounted root space without separate partition for home directory, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Fully-updated through official apt repositories, VMWare-supported driver installed.

Try giving it more RAM, like 8GB. Also try switching the build type to CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo. The linking step in Release mode takes a lot of memory.

Thank you @rafmudaf Your advice was helpful in resolving the situation above.
