** Description changed: Building projects with "make -j" (the parameter proposes make to parallelize independent jobs) makes the system immediately unusable. I can see, that a lot of memory is used soon after starting make. After a few seconds there is no more response by the user interface - no reaction on inputs and freezed screen (no change to non-x terminals possible). This problem did not take place before - I often built projects with -j (without a specific number of jobs given) without problems. I think there is a bug in make or in the newer kernel (maybe scheduling doesn't work properly when make starts too many jobs). My System is a Intel Core 2 Duo, Ubuntu 8.10 amd64, 2 GByte RAM. The project I wanted to build is openssl-0.9.8i. + + + My System is Intel Core i3,Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS amd64, 4 GB + Building projects with "make -j" (the parameter proposes make to parallelize independent jobs) makes the system immediately freeze completely. + My project is Andorid platform and linux kernel.
