gegl-tester uses up all memory during the build
This desktop computer has 16 GiB RAM installed and 8 GiB swap configured, but it seems it is still not enough to build GEGL with docs
enabled. During the build, I saw the memory usage of gegl-tester
started at 3 GiB, but it went up to 12 GiB and froze the desktop after a minute. I didn't know how much RAM it was using before it got killed by the kernel. The display of top
was frozen after the swap was used up, and the last thing I could saw was SIZE 18G, RES 12G
