Compiling BU from source - Error (Ubuntu Server)

Hi there guys I have been trying to compile from source, following the instructions and I am still getting this error:

Making all in src

Thanks!

Not enough memory to compile Bitcoin Unlimited (it's abbreviated BU, not BTU* btw). Your compiler got killed because it ran out of memory. Maybe setting up more swap space could help, but it's going to be very slow to compile. Better take the compilation to a machine with more RAM.

I've only tried on machines with 2GB+ , I don't know what the lower limit is.

* BTU is a term introduced by some who think there is going to be a 'Bitcoin Unlimited' currency after a hard fork. This is a misunderstanding on their part. Bitcoin Unlimited has no plans for a separate currency - only to support and follow Bitcoin's greatest proof-of-work chain (allowing for block size increase by majority).

Hi there thanks for answering. Got it BU will be from now on.

Some of the info in the GitHub repository: "C++ compilers are memory-hungry. It is recommended to have at least 1 GB of memory available when compiling Bitcoin Unlimited. With 512MB of memory or less compilation will take much longer due to swap thrashing."

I will try swapping the memory to 2 GB. If I succeed I will let you to know, so you may update this info in the GitHub files.
I guess, in the future, will be users supporting nodes, using the same service of AWS.
Thanks for the correction Solex!

@theghost1980 If you are using Ubuntu server on AWS this might help, swap memory/space is different than main memory.
