Give the VM as much memory as the host can afford. You can always reduce that after the build is done. > and re-ran "make install clean". There may have been a half-built work directory still in place from the failed build. If that happens, clear it with a 'make clean'. For big ports like Java, it helps to break up the steps. Do just a make, then if it builds, make install, then after that succeeds, make clean. > 1. Is Java 5 not supported on version 8 of FreeBSD?
