OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory when cross-compiling for ARM on Trusty64 (14.04)

[joël maranhão]

Since I am failing to cross-compile on Precise64 (Ubuntu 12.04) here, I am trying to cross-compile on a Trustry64 (14.04) Vagrant box (provider VirtualBox)

My target FriendyARM mini210s with Linux 3.0.8 armv7l

Here are the steps suggested on stackexchange I went through several times which lead me to the same error:

1. mkdir -pv ~/chromium

2. cd ~/chromium

3. git config --global user.name “My Name”

4. git config --global user.email “your...@example.com”

5. git config --global core.autocrlf false

6. git config --global core.filemode false

7. git config --global color.ui true

8. git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools

9. export PATH=$PATH:~/chromium/depot_tools See Update Notes 1

10. mkdir -v ~/chromium/buildhost 

11. cd ../buildhost 

12. fetch --nohooks chromium

13. cd src && ./build/install-build-deps.sh 

14. sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf

15. sudo apt-get install g++-4.8-multilib-arm-linux-gnueabihf   (4.8 for Ubuntu 14.04)

16. ./build/install-build-deps.sh --arm 

17. export GYP_CROSSCOMPILE=1

18. export GYP_DEFINES="target_arch=arm arm_float_abi=hard component=shared_library linux_use_gold_flags=1"

19. gclient sync

20. gclient runhooks

21. ninja -C out/Debug chrome 

On step 19,  gclient sync gets stalled and goes on with the following error:

OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory

Note that the process doesn't die, it's still going, but doesn't give any pointers at whether it is actually doing anything.

[Jakob Kummerow]

"OSError: [Errno 12] Cannot allocate memory" sounds like your Vagrant VM doesn't have enough memory.

I monitored the memory and it didn't look like it was the problem.

Ok I will double the memory size

 config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|

    vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "1024"]

  end

and it worked!!! thanks

[joël maranhão]

Yes increasing the memory worked out but then the compilation failed later with this error message

If you enter terms like "internal error" "get_line_subseg" "dwarf2dbg.c" into your favorite search engine, it will find e.g. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.scm/109551, which appears to suggest that you have two options:

(1) compile with GCC instead of clang (add "clang=0" to GYP_DEFINES)

(2) build in Release mode

I would also expect that you'll need at least 4GB of memory to build successfully.

Saisissez le code ici...

Thanks for pointing out the article. Appreciated.

- Increase the memory of my VM to 4096

- Added  "clang=0" to GYP_DEFINES"

- Built in Release mode after gclient synch

and I still getting errors ... it never ends.

I tried both in Debug and Release mode:
