Can't compile Code lite due to not enough memory.

Post by babaliaris »

Hello.

I tried compiling Code lite (64 bit Linux) on my machine but the OS froze because all the memory was occupied by the compilation process.
This has nothing to do with Code lite, it happens to my machine sometimes because its an old laptop.

First of all i would like to ask if i can find somewhere Code Lite for Linux x64 already compiled to try it.
Secondly please review my specs below and tell me if it's worth to use Code Lite on my laptop.

Thank you.

Which OS are you running?
Linux 64/bit is not enough information. Are you using Ubuntu? Debian? CentOS etc...
Have a look here to see what we offer:
http://codelite.org/LiteEditor/Repositories/
Make sure you have read the HOW TO POST thread

Hi,
but the OS froze because all the memory was occupied by the compilation process.
I find that happens (for me, usually in VirtualBox guests) when I try to build with too many cores (in your case -j2) and either/both:
1) not enough swap space, or
2) not enough space in tmpfs.

The latter can be avoided by first doing: export TMPDIR=/somewhere/else
First of all i would like to ask if i can find somewhere Code Lite for Linux x64 already compiled to try it.
Which distro/version? There are various binaries here.

Regards,

David

Arch Linux. Thanks for the link, it has one for arch linux. Yes, I used j4 in make and my swap is only one gb.
