PhantomJS linux compile error

[cdmba1]

Trying to compile PhantomJS on Debian 8.1. I'm getting following error when running build.sh:

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Sorry for the delay getting back to you about this.

g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)

This error message almost always means that your computer ran out of memory. A full build of PhantomJS requires roughly 4GB of RAM per CPU core, and by default it uses all the cores you have available. You can reduce the memory requirement by building like this:

./build.sh --confirm --jobs 1

... unfortunately, that will make it even slower than it already is.

@zackw I got the same issue - I ran with 4 cores thinking this would speed things up - and it certainly did utilize most of the available processing power. I failed with this error:

Then I tried again after a few days with a single job and got this far:

Any thoughts?

Welcome to Ubuntu 15.10 (GNU/Linux 3.4.39 armv7l)

Thanks.

@alexellis I am using the same architecture and OS as yours (Ubuntu 15.10, armv7l). Are you able to build now? Is it possible to share your prebuilt binaries?

[alexellis]

Sorry, I don't really have time at the moment. If you look at Arch Linux they build and ship this. @yunqu
