<p>Hello Anil,</p>
<p>Building in a VM on a laptop should be doable, but given how
resource intensive the JDK build is, you could run into problems
like you describe. You are most likely to get the best build
performance running natively on the machine and OS you have, so my
recommendation is to build for Windows in your case. If you still
prefer to build for Linux, I think the best option is to use WSL.
See doc/building.md for instructions on how to build for Linux in
WSL. To build for Windows, I recommend installing Cygwin as the
most straightforward and well tested option for a POSIX support
layer on Windows. Once installed, you won't need to run any
Windows commands as Cygwin emulates a Linux/Unix environment.
Again see doc/building.md for instructions on how to install a
build environment on Windows.</p>
<p>/Erik<br>
