hmm your compiler itself crashed.
Can you retry with a different gcc version?

Gururaj_Deshpande

The compiler version is
gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3) 4.8.4
Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I also reinstalled this using the command

sudo apt-get --reinstall install g++-4.8

still the same problem exists.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Then can you try with something more recent like 4.9 or even 5 ?

thats why i said you should try a different version. When this version has a bug it will crash again of course.

Gururaj_Deshpande

ok thanks i will try with the newer version.

I installed 4.9 version of gcc, after installing i ran make command once again, i am getting the following error

Nuke your current build and do a full rebuild including the configuration part.

Also, you should logout from root, it's really not the right account for development.

@SGaist May i know what was the reason it didnt work in gcc 4.8 version? Why it was crashing ?

@Gururaj_Deshpande
Other idea: How much RAM is installed on your machine?
(I had compiler crashes on a RasPi which could be solved in my case by expanding the swap file to 2GB. Some Qt parts are very memory hungry during compilation and cc1plus dies when running out of memory).

Gururaj_Deshpande

@micland 2gb ram. Ya i read these issues were regarding memory but was not sure about that.

Ok I think 2 GB should be enough (but I'm not sure). The build fails with the same error if you have less than 1GB. In my case I was able build Qt with 750MB RAM + 2GB swap file but I don't know what's the absolute required minimum....
