I don’t think I will need wx, after all this is just for a remote sever in Ubuntu. I’ll try it out, thanks !
How do I pass this option to asdf ?
(What I tried):
export KERL_CONFIGURE_OPTIONS="--without-wx"
asdf install erlang <version>
And it still fails.
With a temporary SWAP file of 4GB I was able to compile erlang 20.3.8.23. The compilation took around 2GB of RAM with the --without-wx option. Since droplets normally come with SSD disks, the compilation time was not that much longer than expected.
And the best thing here is that the SWAP file is only temporary, it goes away when you reboot the machine. Couldn’t be happier!
