Maybe there should be a dedicated document with instructions for building, with detailed documentation on each of the ./configure commands? Simply so people can read it before ever touching ./configure, or make doc."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/iojs/io.js/issues/comments/72130066","html_url":"https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/655#issuecomment-72130066","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/iojs/io.js/issues/655","id":72130066,"user":{"login":"thekemkid","id":6907399,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6907399?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/thekemkid","html_url":"https://github.com/thekemkid","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thekemkid/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thekemkid/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thekemkid/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thekemkid/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thekemkid/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thekemkid/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thekemkid/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thekemkid/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/thekemkid/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-30T00:04:29Z","updated_at":"2015-01-30T00:04:29Z","body":"An error, it wouldn't let me compile a part of the v8 engine, so I tried throwing some more memory at it and it worked. I understand that there are more factors than just RAM, but that is why I have suggested the doc on building from source, it can address some of the main issues (ignoring the edge cases as they ca be logged as issues if need be) while also notifying the builders of some really nifty features which may not be highly documented.\r\n\r\nJust an idea, but also there is no need to clutter up the official repo with such info - maybe the contents of an official page on the iojs site?"}}
