Description
A build error occurred while compiling Qt 6.8.1 on a Linux ARM distribution. The issue seems to stem from QWebEngine consuming all available memory on the build machine. Specifically, the QWebEngine module's Chromium dependency requires an exceptionally large amount of resources to build. One particular compilation process on Linux ARM is consuming over 100 GB of memory, leading to termination due to resource exhaustion.
Build Machine Details:
- VM Machine
- AWS instance type: c6g.8xlarge
- 64 GB RAM, 32 vCPUs, 32 GB swap file
Log: log.txt
Update:
Tried building with the largest AWS instance type available:
- AWS instance type: c6g.16xlarge
- 128GB of RAM, 128GB swap space
Unfortunately, this was still not enough, and the singular compilation process was killed after 45 minutes. This process was observed to have a peak memory usage of 195GB.
