Julia: build fails on Raspberry Pi 3 with "LLVM ERROR: out of memory"

[josefsachsconning]

Fresh clone of julia master at bfb1c1b
This is with a 4 GB swap file. My last successful build was at f965fd4 on Feb 14 with a 1 GB swap file.
Does it just no longer work on a 32-bit OS?

No it should still work on 32bit OS, but it seems that either the memory pressure is getting to high or we are running into a different problem on armv7-a.

[its-pointless]

As im compiling this on android im also seeing this in arm.

just tried on a RPI3 running rasbian with https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/commit/5d4eaca0c9fa3d555c79dbacdccb9169fdf64b65 AKA v1.0.0 .. got something else.. going to try make clean and rerun

[its-pointless]

Are you using system llvm or using patches supplied by julia?

[EMCP]

Update: re-ran make and make clean... even make cleanall , nothing changed.

@its-pointless just ran make inside the project.. I am unsure what the default behavior is.

this was also on a very stock Pi .. so I would doubt it's the patches unless that's the default when running make

update 2: will now try make -C deps distclean-llvm and report back

[KristofferC]

Put an exit(0) on the top of generate_precompile.jl and see if that helps (should reduce precompilation and this might reduce memory to build the sysimg).

[EMCP]

@KristofferC thank you for the tip, however it appeared to not affect the error

just going to go with the binary of v1.0.0 for now https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/armv7l/1.0/julia-1.0.0-linux-armv7l.tar.gz

EDIT: doesn't seem to like the ARMV8 environment

with the binary in path

then i learned I should manually remove the old ~/.julia/ ... but that had no effect

[KristofferC]

You need to import Pkg first.

[EMCP]

Ah yes, reading https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/28574 now

should this now be in all my scripts?

import Pkg

edit: Now it seems the package is not able to build due to not seeing JULIA_HOME .. unsure if it's the build or something I did wrong

https://github.com/JuliaAudio/PortAudio.jl/issues/33

I'll move there and stop hi-hacking this build related thread

[ViralBShah]

We also provide precompiled binaries now.

[terasakisatoshi]

Hi, combination of some techniques e.g. cross compilation, Docker and GitHub repository jlcross will save our time.

[ViralBShah]

Also we provide precompiled binaries
