xrdp ?

[sambul13]

I was trying to compile xrdp-git package on Dockstar to access XFCE Desktop running on Dockstar from Windows via Remote Desktop. But the compiler spilled this:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '==> Tidying install...
-> Purging unwanted files...
-> Compressing man and info pages...
-> Stripping unneeded symbols from binaries and libraries...
==> Creating package...
-> Generating .PKGINFO file...
-> Compressing package...
xz: (stdin): Cannot allocate memory
bsdtar: Write error
==> ERROR: Failed to create package file.
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build xrdp-git.
==> Restart building xrdp-git ? [y/N]')

Nothing else was running on Dockstar at that time apart from low memory basic packages hard to close, totaling 27Mb out of 120Mb available. Is there a way to compile this package on Dockstar, or any workaround?

I wonder, how most of ARM depository packages were compiled, likely to spill similar errors?

Use a swap file, but never if possible on flash memory.

Thanks. I assume, the built process will automatically use set swap file or partition if available, so there is no need for any special instructions at built time?

All automatic

Thanks. It worked very well. But when I finally tested XRDP on Dockstar, the impression is Remote Desktop here is a bit redundant feature, and SSH terminal access complemented with MC will do the trick for me. Will use SWAP file for other compiling tasks though.
