System hangs when building QTWebEnginem

[hankwang]

Hey,

        We want to build 6.6.23 and include QT6.7. We have added qtwebenigne to the BSP and masked the meta-chromium recipe.

        When the system bitbake qtwebenigne, the system will hang. But my system has 32G RAM.

        Bitbake thread set 4.

        How to set up an environment for compiling qtwebengine?

[hankwang · Accepted solution]

I solved this problem. SWAP can be modified from the default 2G to 8G.

Regarding step 3: Added the following information, set thread 8.

BB_NUMBER_THREADS="8"

PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 8"

Are you using Ubuntu? How many cpu core in your system?

[hankwang]

I set threads to 8.But I still can't bitbake qtwebenigine.

bitbake's do_compile progress is still stay at 0%.

Could you show me the steps so I can try it on my side?

Is there any error message? where is it stop?

The step is very simple.

1. Download BSP 6.6.23 BSP from NXP.

2. DISTRO=fsl-imx-xwayland MACHINE=imx8mm-lpddr4-evk source imx-setup-release.sh -b
build-xwayland

3. Modify the local.conf (set thread to

4. Add IMAGE_INSTALL:append = " packagegroup-qt6-webengine" in local.conf

5. Mask #BBLAYERS += "${BSPDIR}/sources/meta-browser/meta-chromium" in bblayer.conf

6.bitbake imx-image-full

Your host system is good enough to build the BSP.

In the conf/local.conf, please try to add below:

BB_NUMBER_THREADS="8"

PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 8"

Yes, I use Ubuntu 20.04. The Core has 16.

I monitor memory usage. 32G memory becomes empty. Do you have any idea?  We can reduce the memory usage or how we need to increase the memory size.
