I am following these instructions to compile a project that relies on Eigen3: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48144415/not-found-eigen3-dir-when-configuring-a-cmake-project-in-windows When clicking 'build' on the generated Eigen3 project in MSVC2019, ram usage goes to 100% (16GB+) and after a few minutes, the OS hangs to the point of no mouse cursor movement or response to devices connecting.

Visual Studio
Visual Studio
A family of Microsoft suites of integrated development tools for building applications for Windows, the web and mobile devices.

    Hi Sander-3255,

    You could reduce the maximum numbers of parallel projects in Tools/Options/Projects and Solutions/Build And Run.

    By the way, the Eigen3 solution contains multiple projects. To solve the problems which the SO thread mentions, you just need to build "All_Build" project and "INSTALL" project.
