build of ros fuerte colladadom fails on armhf - beaglebone

edit

Hi All,

I was following a guide on building ros for an armhf device (beaglebone) however ran into a problem in that my compiler failed when compiling the level 2 packages

The compiler error is:

[rosmake-0] Starting >>> rosconsole [ make ]                                    
[rosmake-0] Finished <<< rosconsole  No Makefile in package rosconsole

Stackoverflow says the g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus) error is due to a lack of memory, which may be correct as the beagle bone has 250Mb, though the original guide did not mention anything on it being a problem.

Can anyone suggest a workaround or how to cross compile ros for armhf?

cheers
