Building dump978-fa is memory-intensive, and fails if sufficient memory is not available
Anyone faced with memory problem during building of dump978-fa can increase memory by create a temporary swap file of say 2GB, so that total memory becomes 2GB ram + 0.5 GB swap +2 GB swa-file = 4.5 GB.
After the dump978-fa package is built successfully, the swap-file created by user can be deleted to free up disk space.
I have described in detail the method to create a swap-file in following post:
NOTE:
(1) - On RPi, you cannot switch user to root. Instead use sudo with all commands mentioned in above noted post.
(2) You cannot delete swap file created by you unless you make swap off.
To delete the swap file you created, use following commands
sudo swapoff /my-swap
sudo rm /my-swap
Open file fstab for editing
sudo nano /etc/fstab
In above file, delete following line which you have added while creating your swap file
/my-swap none swap sw 0 0
