Error: running '__rvm_make -j12'
This error occurs when the '__rvm_make' command encounters an issue while running with the flag '-j12'. The '-j12' flag is used to specify the number of threads to be used during the make process. It indicates that 12 threads should be utilized for parallel compilation.
The most common cause of this error is when there are insufficient system resources or if there is a conflict with the dependencies required for compiling.
To resolve this error, you can try the following steps:
1. Check system resources: Ensure that your system has enough available resources, including CPU, memory, and disk space, to handle the compilation process. You can use system monitoring tools to check the resource usage during the compilation.
2. Upgrade dependencies: Verify if all the dependencies required for the compilation process are installed and up to date. Missing or outdated dependencies can often cause issues while running the make command. You can check the documentation of the software or library you are trying to compile for the specific dependencies required.
3. Reduce thread count: If your system does not have enough resources to handle 12 threads, you can reduce the thread count by modifying the '-j12' flag. For example, you can try using '-j8' to utilize 8 threads instead.
4. Clean and rebuild: It is possible that the error is caused by a previous incomplete build. You can try cleaning the project or software directory and then rebuilding it again. This can be done by running the appropriate clean command provided by the build system or by manually removing any generated build files.
Here is an example of how the error message may appear in the terminal:
Error: running '__rvm_make -j12': No rule to make target 'file.o', needed by 'target'. Stop.
By following the troubleshooting steps mentioned above, you can identify and resolve the cause of the error when running '__rvm_make -j12'.
