I already did this also, i have 12 core processor so i added -j12 in cmake, but no solution. Same problem exists, terminal getting crashed.

That is not reducing the number of threads ;-) Use -j1 or -j2, this will reduce RAM usage considerably.

It didn't worked, same problem.... system is getting stucked.

@prathyuch-1999 are you building Qt under root? If yes, do not do it. You should build it under your user name and install it somewhere under root.

@JoeCFD
Thanks for your advice, i tried to build as a user this time system is not stucked but doing cmake, build is getting failed at same position.

Looks like you need more RAM.

Hi,
I have RAM-16GB, 12 core processor and created swap of size 8GB ?
16GB RAM is not sufficient ? or what could be the problem ?

Well the compiler clearly tells you that it does not have enough memory. So perhaps yes, 16GB may be too small. I don't know for sure, I never compile the web engine module when I compile Qt.

I increased my swap size again and it worked for me.
Thanks to all of you for your advice, finally i have successfully build and install Qt-6.5.2 in my Ubuntu PC.
I have successfully build and install QtCreator-11.0.3 also.
But now QtCreator-11.0.3 is not working properly, whenever i will click on gui components in left panel, QtCreator is getting crashed with message in terminal "Segmentation fault (core dumped)".
I am not able to drag and drop or put any gui widget in form(.ui file) in qtcreator, it's getting crashed immediately just after click on that.
What could be the error ? How to resolve this issue.

@prathyuch-1999 Just use a prebuilt Qt Creator, it's way easier.

Use Qt online installer, it's the easiest way and you will be getting updates as they are released: https://download.qt.io/archive/online_installers/4.6/

If you want offline installer of just Qt Creator, then: https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/11.0/11.0.3/

@sierdzio
Hi, I have already downloaded qt-creator-opensource-linux-x86_64-11.0.3.run from link you have suggested for offline installer.
But when i am running this executable, it's asking for registration or license type of stuffs.

Why for opensource QtCreator it's asking registration ? Earlier it was not such type of case, previously i was using QtCreator version-4.6.1.

@prathyuch-1999 you don't need any license, don't worry. And you already have an account: use login & password you use for this forum.

As to "why" - well, that's what Qt Company came up with to coerce more people to buy licenses. Nothing we can do about it :-(
