Mongodb 4.2.12 build failure on debian arm64

Hi,

As there is no available binary for Debian 10 arm64, I am trying to build 4.2.12 using the instructions on mongo/building.md at v4.2.12 · mongodb/mongo · GitHub

When I do:
python3 buildscripts/scons.py mongod --disable-warnings-as-errors

I get the following error:
Compiling build/opt/mongo/db/commands/find_cmd.o

**g++:** **fatal error:** Killed signal terminated program cc1plus

compilation terminated.

scons: *** [build/opt/mongo/db/db.o] Error 1

scons: building terminated because of errors.

build/opt/mongo/db/db.o failed: Error 1

Not sure where to go from here. Would really appreciate a direction on this thanks.

I get something similar, but at a slightly different stage:

Perhaps @andrew_morrow can help, as I found his answers on Add MongoDB 4.2 ARM64 builds for Raspberry Pi OS 64 bit (Debian Buster) - #9 by Andrew_Morrow before finding this page?

I should have said: I’m trying to build 4.2.17, rather than 4.2.12.

Hi @Oliver_Lockwood - That looks to me like you are running out of memory and the compiler is getting OOM killed. Either build with lower concurrency (smaller argument to -j), or do a cross compile. The latter would be my recommendation, because you can then do the build on a heftier x86 machine. The post you linked to includes cross build instructions.
