netbsd-6 CVS branch amd64 build fails with gcc internal error

[J. Lewis Muir]

Hello, NetBSD Users.

I tried to build the netbsd-6 CVS branch (i.e. stable branch) from
source for amd64 on a NetBSD 6.1.4 amd64 machine using the BUILD-NetBSD
program from the sysutils/etcmanage 0.8.2 package, but the build
fails partway through with the message, "x86_64--netbsd-gcc: Internal
error: Killed (program cc1 received signal 9)". :-(

The console output for the beginning and end (after "[snip]") of the
build is below. Right near the top is the actual build.sh command that
was run.

The machine is a VMware virtual machine. I checked available disk
space, and that seems fine. The machine has 256 MB of memory; I assume
that's fine. The build is running with '-j2'; I assume that's fine,
but I could try no parallelism if that might help, but I'd be surprised
since I assume most everyone builds with parallelism.

I updated the CVS branch source just yesterday before building.

Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it?

Thank you!

Lewis

The machine is a VMware virtual machine. I checked available disk
space, and that seems fine. The machine has 256 MB of memory; I
assume that's fine. The build is running with '-j2'; I assume that's
fine, but I could try no parallelism if that might help, but I'd be
surprised since I assume most everyone builds with parallelism.

Hmm, I just noticed the following error message on the machine's
console:

UVM: pid 19753 (cc1), uid 1000 killed: out of swap

So, maybe I am running out of memory? Or a process has gone rogue? Or
some other problem?

Thanks,

Lewis

Yes. gcc can become really large sometimes ...

This makes "Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping" seem so dated :-)

Hi, Manuel.

OK, the machine had 256 MB of swap and 256 MB of RAM; I increased the
RAM to 512 MB, leaving the swap unchanged, and the build succeeded!

I didn't realize a build took so much memory. Thanks for the help!

Regards,

Lewis

I have a machine with even less RAM, 128M, and I succeeded in building
the system on it (although I would not do it again, since it took more
than a day to complete.) Where I had trouble with running out of
memory was in updating the binary package database with "pkgin". I
simply added another 128M of swap and then it worked for me.

Try -j1 (just edit the script) and give the VM 1024MB. 256MB can run a
lot of things, but seems small to build.
