[SOLVED]problem emerging dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.11.1

[mikefot]

Dear All.

I am having a problem emerging dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.11.1.

The compilation runs OK until it finishes going through a big loop of some kind.

A little further on it pauses and then does a great deal of writing to and from the hard drive it seems.

It seems to get stuck doing this.....

I am running an AMD kaveri box with 8GB RAM installed.

Is that enough RAM to compile this package efficiently?

Here is some output leading up to the pause:

Some qtbugs are listed in it.

Comments appreciated.

My first guess would indeed be insufficient amount of RAM.

For example, if I build it with MAKEOPTS="-j16", my 16 GiBs of RAM is not enough, it will dip over 8 GiBs into swap. With "-j12" it seems to stick to RAM.

Similar to that thread, from a quick glance, your error log snippet doesn't seem to contain the actual point of failure either. We'll need more of it, or you can try to find the actual spot yourself (look for 'error: ' or 'killed' for example).

If your issue ends up being the same (running out of memory), I'm thinking this one can go into duplicate threads (or even merged into that one).

Many thanks for your reply.

I left it compiling overnight and it finally succeeded.

See here (emerge.log output):

I probably need more RAM I guess.....

Moved from Portage & Programming to Duplicate Threads in the favour of [topic=1086900]dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.11.1 fails to build[/topic].

Seems to be about the same issue.

Glad it got solved like that!
