+Compilation fails
|
|
|
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+On Linux systems with Kernel version 4.3 or newer, compilation may fail
|
|
|
+with the error "pthread_create failed: Resource temporarily unavailable."
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+This is because of a change in the way Linux limits thread creation. But
|
|
|
+you can change those limits through the command line. Please read this
|
|
|
+section thoroughly before beginning.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+First open a terminal, then begin compilation as usual (it may be a good
|
|
|
+idea to run a --clean first). While compiling enter the following in
|
|
|
+your terminal:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ user@host:~/$ top -b -n 1 | grep scons
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The output should list a scons process, with its PID as the first number
|
|
|
+in the output. For example the PID 1077 in the output shown below:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ user@host:~/$ top -b -n 1 | grep scons
|
|
|
+ 1077 user 20 0 10544 1628 1508 S 0.000 0.027 0:00.00 grep
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Now you can use another command to increase the number of processes that
|
|
|
+scons is allowed to spawn. You can check its current limits with:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ user@host:~/$ prlimit --pid=1077 --nproc
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+You can increase those limits with the command:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+::
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ user@host:~/$ prlimit --pid=1077 --nproc=60000:60500
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Obviously you should substitute the scons PID output by top and a limits
|
|
|
+that you think suitable. These are in the form --nproc=soft:hard where
|
|
|
+soft must be lesser than or equal to hard. See the man page for more
|
|
|
+information.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If all went well, and you entered the prlimit command while scons was
|
|
|
+running, then your compilation should continue without the error.
