The standard ulimit restrictions in OpenBSD are very strict: - - data(kbytes) 1572864 +```bash +data(kbytes) 1572864 +``` This is, unfortunately, in some cases not enough to compile some `.cpp` files in the project, (see issue [#6658](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6658)). If your user is in the `staff` group the limit can be raised with: - - ulimit -d 3000000 - +```bash +ulimit -d 3000000 +``` The change will only affect the current shell and processes spawned by it. To make the change system-wide, change `datasize-cur` and `datasize-max` in `/etc/login.conf`, and reboot. - |
