Description Igor Ulyanov 2014-08-10 09:55:30 UTC 
x11-libs/wxGTK requires more than 2Gb disk space. 

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-08-10 10:03:26 UTC 
Gb = gigabits.
Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-08-10 10:05:41 UTC 
Many packages require that much temporary storage. Would you like pkg_pretend() to warn about available disk space?
Comment 3 Igor Ulyanov 2014-08-12 11:31:18 UTC 
I have a note with 4 GiB RAM and a half memory area for temporary storage in-memory build. Compilation fails in this condition. There are not so much such applications indeed. Firefox, chrome, boost, llvm gcc are known examples.
Comment 4 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-08-18 04:54:39 UTC 
Then don't build in memory.

There is no way to predict how much memory will be required to build something.  It varies between gcc versions and options, architecture, etc.
