OS: Ubuntu 14.04, 4GB ram, i5, 1.5 GB swap space
I'm running a compilation command ./build.sh , however, the computer keeps on freezing during running it. I checked the RAM, CPU and Swap Space usage during the compilation and all of them are completely used. What will be the best solution to tackle this? I tried increasing swap space using swap file, however, the max limit (for swap file) seems to be 3 GB which is also being used completely.

Can I know the command you are using, anyways if you are using make like this:
make -j4 -l4
change it to:
make -j2 -l2
Also, I think the swap space is too low, it should be at least equal to RAM. If the problem is not solved by above command, follow this tutorial to increase swap space.

I solved the problem by increase RAM to 8 GB as well as by increasing the SWAP space to 5 GB. When the compilation is run it was observed that the maximum 5.5 GB of RAM was used, so both RAM and Swap space were not sufficient.
