Compiler internal error while compiling qtwebengine

Hi All,

I am trying to compile on a 4-core atom pc and get the following error

I have seen similar posts referring to lack of memory as the issue.
I have 2G of memory but no swap as the file system is btrfs ..

Any clues on how to resolve this?

Thanks

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What compiler and version are you using ? The usual way to solve that kind of problem is to update your compiler to a more recent version where there's a fix for that compiler error.

[bmentink]

I am on ArchLinux ... so the latest bleeding edge compiler ..
I can't tell you the version as I am not on that machine at present ..

I have determined, by making a temporary swap file, that it is lack of memory that is the issue.
I can't believe that any compile would need more that 2G of ram .... go figure ..

Cheers

Alternatively, downgrade to a more stable compiler. The bleeding edge might have teething problems.

See https://wiki.qt.io/Qt-5.5.0-tools-and-versions -- The latest release (Qt 5.5) is tested on GCC 4.8 and 4.9 on Linux.

@JKSH
I just stated .. it is a memory issue, not a compiler issue ...

Right. I started writing my post before your update arrived.

Glad to hear you've resolved your issue.
