grpc build stuck on virtual machine - c++

I'm following steps from https://grpc.io/docs/languages/cpp/ and I was doing make -j at step 3. Then, my whole screen of the vm got frozen except the mouse. After a while, like several minutes, I received several fatal errors indicating the build failed. I have attached 2 screenshots. One is from the state the screen is frozen and one is the afterwards with errors. Thanks.
screen froze at 46%
the fatal errors

The original issue is resolved by specifying make -j4 as it is an out of memory issue.

mingw32-make access denied when building wxWidgets

I get an error when I execute mingw32-make in cmd with the makefile.gcc found in the build\msw folder of the wxWidget decompressed zip. I followed the steps shown in this tutorial video.
The error is:
make (e=5): Acceso denegado.
mingw32-make: [makefile.gcc:5354: clean] Error 5 (ignored)
I tried adding "Everyone" with total control to the security tab in the properties option of the folder in which I had decompressed wxWidgets.
I changed the same option for make.exe file in C:\msys64\mingw64\bin
I read that it could be the antivirus, I'm using Windows Defender, I switched off the real time protection but it didn't change anything.
First of all, this is not a fatal error, as indicated by "(ignored)" at the end, so it's not clear what your actual problem is -- does the library get compiled or not?
Second, to debug problems such as this one, you could use the Process Monitor tool where you can find out accessing which file exactly triggers this error -- this could give you at least some idea. Without knowing it, it's really impossible to know what goes wrong on your machine.

LNK1168: cannot open debug\file.exe for writing

I have qt project but if I edit my code, Qt creator throws out this error
:-1: error: LNK1168: cannot open debug\GettingStarted.exe for writing
I'm not able even to delete the debug folder (i.e. as an administrator). I have to log off and then come back. What is the problem and how can I solve it?
Go to the task manager Ctrl+Alt+Del.
look for the name of your running application in your case GettingStarted.exe.
right click --> end process or just press Suppr . This will kill the running process.
Go back to your code and run the application again
In my simple case (Qt only, no external libs, same error LNK1168) the Task manager showed nothing useful to kill.
Only total reboot has helped and error is gone.
All the methods mentioned here has not helped except reboot. There is no any ProjectName.exe in Task Manager.
You can go to C:\Users\user-name\source\repos\ProjectName\Debug\ folder and rename ProjectName.exe. You can't delete this file at that time, but It can be renamed. It can only be deleted after reboot.
I know this is an old thread but I was stumbling in the same problem also. Finding it in task manager is tricky, and I started to grow tired of having to restart my PC every time this happened.
A solution would be to download Process Explorer and there you can search for running tasks. In my case I was having the following error:
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1168: cannot open C:Out\Build\VS12_app\Debug\platform_test.exe for writing [C:Build\VS12_app\platform_test.vcxproj]
I searched for C:Out\Build\VS12_app\Debug\platform_test.exe in Process Explorer, killed it and I was able to compile.

Error: not.exe has stopped working - When trying to build LLVM

I am trying to build LLVM on windows, and everytime I do so I get to a certain point and then recieve an error that says "not.exe has stopped working" It pops up on the desktop about 15 times.
I am not sure what is going on, but when I check the error in Visual Studio I receive this:
Error 4 error : Couldn't execute program 'C:/Users/Cyborg/Documents/Developer'The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. C:\Users\Joe\Documents\Dev\llvm\test\CUSTOMBUILD check-llvm
I receive this error 5-7 times depending on how fast I click the error that pops up on the desktop. So clearly this issue is happening because of that.
The fault module is: MSVCR100.dll
Does anyone know why this is happening?
I don't know why you're getting the error since I don't build or use LLVM on Windows. Since no one else has chimed in, I'll try to give a hint or two.
"not.exe" (or "not" under Linux) is a little LLVM helper program used when running the lit based regressions tests. It is used to execute a program and return a good exit status if the program fails and a bad exit status if the program doesn't fail.
I'm guessing that "CUSTOMBUILD check-llvm" (what ever that is) is attempting to run the regression tests and your getting your mysterious error as a result whenevr "not" is used.
I hope that helps.

xcode build error

Command /Developer/usr/bin/g++-4.2 failed with exit code 1
build error
My project was working fine with no errors, and I went to run it again without changing anything and received this error (only this). Any ideas on how to fix it?
I had this error when certain .cpp files didn't exist, but it could be caused by any number of things. Clearly in your case it's something different, if you're sure you haven't changed anything in the project.
On the right of the build results list there should be a (well hidden) button with lines - that shows the raw build output, which should give you some idea about what went wrong. What does that say?

"Cannot Open a.exe" Error in C++

I'm trying to compile my C++ program, but when I press the "Build" button, it displays the following error message:
c:/gnat/2010/bin/../libexec/gcc/i686-pc-mingw32/4.3.6/ld.exe:
cannot open output file a.exe: Invalid
argument collect2: ld returned 1 exit
status
This is not the first time it has done this. It seems to do this most when I have been editing the same project a lot and building it often, almost as if something has been flooded, or overloaded, or something.
I had fixed it before, I believe, by restarting my PC, but I can't afford to keep restarting my PC every time this occurs.
I thought this was just a one-time problem, but it has continued to happen and so I thought I'd look for more help on this.
I found another SO question that I thought had the same error message/problem as I had. However, when I tried the solutions listed on afore-linked question, nothing helped.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or does anyone know how I can fix this issue (besides restarting my computer every time)?
I am developing in jGrasp also, if that helps any.
EDIT: I just wanted to add that I thought it might be that my previous executable was still running in the background, but even if I close my IDE, it still won't let me delete the executable, because it says it is still running.
I checked my process explorer to see if the a.exe was still running, but there's absolutely nothing in my processes that has to do with jGrasp or a.exe
I guess your executable is still running. It's the only reason I think about... I guess the best is to check on your task manager (process Explorer is your friend ;)).
In Visual Studio Code, go to Settings -> Search for "clear previous" in the search bar and check on the box named "clear previous output". :)
It is happening because your previous output is already running in the background. And VS Code offers a feature to close that on every run.
EDIT: it's nothing to do with collect2.exe.
Do you get any other error text, like for example 'permission denied errors' etc.

It is beacause the .exe is still running. If you're on Windows use the command line del -f a.exe and if you're on linux use rm -rf ./a.out
I have the same problem, was worried for hours. I disabled my avg antivirus and it worked.
