Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] pybombs building 3.6.5.1 - swapping and out of virtual memory

[Tim Newman]

By default pybombs runs make with the "-j4" option, allowing it to compile things in parallel.  This typically helps the compile go quicker.  I certainly wouldnt expect the gnuradio compile to have issues like this, but you could edit the gnuradio recipe to force it not to use the "-j4" option by adding:

make {
    make

}

This basically overwrites the template pybombs uses for the make stage, which uses the "-j4" by default. It will result in a longer compile time, and again I wouldnt expect a machine with 4GB of RAM to have any problems, even with that option, but its something to try.

Not sure if this is a Pybombs or Gnuradio build issue: When building
version 3.6.5.1 via pybombs the system starts swapping after about 70%
of the build have completed and even sometimes bails out with "out of
virtual memory". I can complete the build by restarting pybombs install
- sometimes several times.
I am building on XUbuntu 12.04 64bit - both machines have 4Gb RAM.
I notice that "top" shows several cc1plus processes running in parallel
each consuming over 1Gb of memory.
