``-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo`` to ``do_cmake.sh`` to create a non-debug
build.
-[Ninja](https://ninja-build.org/) is the buildsystem used by the Ceph project
-to build test builds. The number of jobs used by `ninja` is derived from the
-number of CPU cores of the building host if unspecified. Use the `-j` option to
-limit the job number if the build jobs are running out of memory. If you
-attempt to run `ninja` and receive a message that reads `g++: fatal error:
-Killed signal terminated program cc1plus`, then you have run out of memory.
-Using the `-j` option with an argument appropriate to the hardware on which the
-`ninja` command is run is expected to result in a successful build. For example,
-to limit the job number to 3, run the command `ninja -j 3`. On average, each
-`ninja` job run in parallel needs approximately 2.5 GiB of RAM.

+ ``cd build``
+4. Use the `ninja` buildsystem to build the development environment:
+
+ ninja -j3

This documentation assumes that your build directory is a subdirectory of
the `ceph.git` checkout. If the build directory is located elsewhere, point
To build only certain targets, run a command of the following form:
- ninja [target name]
+ ``ninja [target name]``
5. Install the vstart cluster:
- ninja install
+ ``ninja install``
