Raising here since this repo contains the build instructions. No idea where the signal: killed comes from- it is reproducible.

Make sure your docker daemon has at least 8GB RAM and it should work fine.

I also got the same error. I am having 8 GB RAM system memory. If I assign 8 GB RAM, all my memory will be used up. Will it create a problem? Is there any other solution?

[andig]

See https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/26d32a7cffd7abfaaa88823b492d218f2289a1ea/build/README.md. I can't find the 8G documented, only 4.5G. I have 16G and just gave more to docker.

Shouldn't we update the amount of memory required (4.5GB) specified in the following documentation in the README.md to 8GB (as suggested above) or 10GB in my case.

macOS You can either use Docker for Mac or docker-machine. See installation instructions here. Note: You will want to set the Docker VM to have at least 4.5GB of initial memory or building will likely fail. (See: #11852).

I spent several hours trying to find a sweet spot and here is what I've found on my MacBook Pro (2018). Both "build/run.sh make" and "build/run.sh make cross" builds successfully with 10GB of memory.

Daemon Memory | Failed attempts | Passed runs
-- | -- | --
8 GB | 6 | 0
9 GB | 5 | 1
9.5 GB | 4 | 2
10 GB | 0 | 6

On my older Retina iMac 8GB works for both "build/run.sh make" and "build/run.sh make cross" builds fine.

Should we at-least point out in the README that

• 4.5GB will suffice for building individual components on MacOS
• And approximately 10GB is needed to make all binaries. i.e "build/run.sh make" OR "build/run.sh make cross" inside the build container.

We should figure out how to limit the parallelism. There's no excuse for
it to fail.
