As of 2026-06-28:

  • Deviating from upstream compiler guidance https://github.com/mongodb/mongo/blob/master/docs/building.md, now using GCC15, as GCC14 fails to compile due to: /build/gcc14/src/gcc14/libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_platform_limits_posix.cpp:154:10: fatal error: linux/scc.h: No such file or directory.

  • Service now enables Glibc's RSEQ, which as a side effect disables TCMalloc's RSEQ usage, required for kernels 6.19+ until upstream resolves https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-121912.

  • You may set the following to control cpu and ram required to build:

    --local_resources=cpu=16 \
    --local_resources=memory=HOST_RAM*.7 \

Before upgrading to 8.2, you must set the feature compatibility version to 8.0. See documentation: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/release-notes/8.2-upgrade-standalone/#feature-compatibility-version

Note that building takes about 84gb of memory as of 8.2.1.

@pimkodeli Does https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mongodb-bin not work? I'm running that on the 7.1.9 kernel and it seems fine (granted I'm not really an advanced user). Failing that, have you looked at makepkg.conf? Dunno the CPU on your NUC, but for me adding -j16 (on an 8-core, 16-thread CPU) to MAKEFLAGS helped a lot.

I've been trying to update/install of this package and the compilation (on my intel archlinux box) takes more than 25gb of disk space and takes 10h on my Intel NUC system. it constantly fails because it runs out of disk space (and I need to keep increasing the virtual machine). Unsure why this package requires a client-side full recompile. is there no option that comes as a binary (the mongoldb-bin package doesn't work because it is incompatible with newer 7.xxx kernels).

how can this be avoided or sped up?

Thanks for maintaining this package!

Had issues building cleanly until I changed the things below. If we require gcc14 to build i'd recommend not reading in CC etc. from /etc/makepkg.conf, otherwise the PKGBUILD tends to fail if these are set to something improper.

Further, some bazel esotericism to ensure proper compilers are used:

Confirmed, it compiles with current GCC 15, no need for GCC-14. (it is a heavy dependency to compile this compiler)

pricechrispy commented on 2026-01-13 18:32 (UTC)

@omgold Per the mongodb build instructions, they verify functionality with GCC 14. To avoid introducing unknown side effects for such a large project, I won't deviate from their guidance on the major version of the compiler used. You may of course modify the PKGBUILD to do so if it suits your needs.

omgold commented on 2026-01-13 09:57 (UTC)

Is using GCC 14 still needed? For me it compiles just fine with the default version (Mongodb 8.2.3 with GCC 15.2.1).

Hi, I host automatic builds here:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:ItachiSan:archlinux/mongodb

I saw that there is a download step; is there any way to avoid it?
