Dear Ravi, Looks like you are hitting two different issues, but there is no enough details in your email to b able to help you. For avx2 compilation issue, please make sure that you use clean repo (i.e git clean -fdx). Also provide OS version and gcc version.
On memory issue, I'm afraid that 1GB is just not enough... -- Damjan > On 26 May 2018, at 01:48, Ravi Kerur <rke...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > I am seeing following build errors with latest vpp git repo.
