Have anyone experienced compiling costmap_2d on a Nvidia Jetson TK1 with Ubuntu 16.04 and ROS Kinetic? I've tried to compile it on 2 such boards. They all compiled very very slow! In the extreme case, I tried to compile costmap_2d in my own catkin workspace with the command catkin_make with or without -j5, --use-ninja. In this case, costmap_2d simply failed to finish compiling. It stuck at

Linking CXX executable /home/ubuntu/catkin_ws/devel/lib/costmap_2d/costmap_2d_cloud
Linking CXX executable /home/ubuntu/catkin_ws/devel/lib/costmap_2d/costmap_2d_markers

The linking procedure lasts forever, never succeed to accomplish.

The only way I made it finish is by invoking catkin_make_isolated instead of catkin_make, and the linking still takes very long time when compared to other packages (like lasting 10min+ or so).

Linking can be a very RAM-intensive process; perhaps your system is using swap while linking?

Thank you for answering! It probably didn't used the swap, the TK1 has 4GB memory. And I even tried to compiled with only one thread (-j1). I also tried free -m to see memory consumption, there are more than 2GB free memory available.
