This may manifest as an error: g++: fatal error: Killed signal terminated program cc1plus. --- docs/building.md | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/docs/building.md b/docs/building.md index c37b31d5e53..751c78df2a9 100644 --- a/docs/building.md +++ b/docs/building.md @@ -78,6 +78,10 @@ errors.
