+=== Add a temporary swap file ===
+
+Compiling a library needs memory/swap during the "make". If you get an internal error during this phase on a computer with low memory and/or no swap partition (check with `free -m` ) you can test below procedure.
+
+ 1. Create a 1GB empty file:
+`dd if=/dev/zero of=/.swapfile bs=1024 count=1M`
+1GB file creation wherever you have space, change the location following your possibilities 
+ 2. Create swap:
+`mkswap /.swapfile`
+ 3. Activate swap:
+`swapon /.swapfile`
+ 4. check:
+Check if the swap is recognized with `swapon -s` or `free -m` (swap different from 0) 
+ 5. Relaunch your compilation
+ 6. Disable swap:
+`swapoff /.swapfile`
+ 7. delete file:
+`rm -f /.swapfile`
