Crash while building SITL

[lang-simon]

Hello,
I installed the development environment with gazebo with the script on the wiki and once I tried to compile with

"make px4_sitl_default gazebo''

It stops at step 8/12 ''performing for 'sitl_gazebo' or 3/7 ''performing build step for' sitl_gazebo'''
and Ubuntu become totally irreaponsive, I have to hard reboot.

It's Ubuntu on a clean installation.

Is that a known issue ?

Thanks.

I ran into this as well on a clean install - seems like something in the sitl_gazebo build needs an insane amount of RAM.

It needs 2GB RAM/core. Means if you build this at make -j4, it will need 8GB RAM.

it is really confusing ! I used it on the same computer in a virutal machine in windows and switched to a clean install of ubuntu due to performances problems in gazebo.

So only hope is tomake -j2 or increase the swap to help my 8gb of RAM ?
