I consider it was broken by update of nodejs-lts-jod and -iron is fine. I may try to switch nvm if you requested.
npm run gulp could be replaced with gulp (https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/gulp/) but it has more risk of OOM in my experience.
You can also npm run gulp --max-old-space-size=N (N=8192 is default).
This is disabling minify as seen as npm run gulp vscode-linux-x64 #-min # minify cause OOM at build(). So OOM should not happen even with 16GB RAM. What happened?
build void-git fail with
[16:03:37] Error [ERR_WORKER_OUT_OF_MEMORY]: Worker terminated due to reaching memory limit: JS heap out of memory
I have 32G mem and when building void-git, the mem max usage just 24G, it should not OOM
how to avoid the OOM happen?
This only supports ~/.config/{electron,electronNM}-flags.conf.
See https://github.com/voideditor/void/commits/main/ for versioned commit e.g.
1.4.2 source=("git+https://github.com/voideditor/void.git#commit=aacae4728f58dbdc5bf6e06a37b487d5b82cb147").
Tell me if someone succeed to minify js files.
The PKGBUILD and void-editor.desktop for the Void binaries at: https://pastebin.com/FTy6vJDw
I generated the PKGBUILD mainly using ChatGPT and I used the same deps of code-oss. If anyone wants to upload to Aur, that would be great! Aur registration is currently disabled, and I'm unsure if would like to take the responsibility of maintain this package. Just place those two files in a directory and run makepkg -si to install.
Ok that's great, it was already midnight here yesterday... I know this issue, on my machine with 32gb of ram I had to set it to sm like 16386, but then it wouldn't work on machines with 8gb and the internet is floooded with threads about it so according to Microsoft's latest guidelines this line was removed completely to not run into memory issues... "👉 Tip! Run gulp via npm to avoid potential out of memory issues, for example npm run gulp vscode-linux-x64" https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/How-to-Contribute So I really don't know now :|
I sat down with the void devs and went line by line through the process, they added some of their custom stuff to the build scripts also. What can I say? JavaScript? Turns out c++ is easier to compile.
Thanks for the response darkestmedium. I did a little more research after seeing your comment and git cloned the void repo and worked through it. Turns out the issue is related to the fact that the laptop I am building on is a weaker laptop with limited ram. I was able to solve the issue by modifying the packages.json file and modifying the lines below to limit the ram. Not sure if its worth it to you to worry about those modifications but i was able to successfully build it myself with those changes. Wish you the best though man and thanks for the response.
changes to pacakges.json
"compile": "node --max-old-space-size=8192 ./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js compile",
"gulp": "node --max-old-space-size=8192 ./node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js",
The issue was me and not you. Haha.. Have a good day though man.
