Build freezes when building CM. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am building my own version of CM for my device, the LG l90. I am replacing the CM kernel with a kernel from LG stock sources. One problem I have had is the build always freezes at this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyone know what the problem is?
The specs of my VM that I use to build are as follows:
Vmware Player 7.1.2
4 CPU cores
3192mb memory
Ubuntu 14.04
Main virtual drive: 33 GB (Almost full)
Secondary virtual drive: 107 GB (I keep the CM sources here)
Could it be a problem of not enough RAM or disk space? What would have caused this problem?

I notice this whenever I do a clean build. In my case, it takes a while, but the build eventually gets past this and continues. I don't know what's so special about Email.apk, but it always seems to take forever there.

Is there a way to disable building of email.apk?

I've never seen the need to do that, but I suppose you could remove the appropriate lines from manifest.xml. Look for android_packages_apps_Email and android_packages_apps_UnifiedEmail. Better yet, create a .xml file in .repo/local_manifests (you can give it any name you like, i.e. remove_projects.xml) that contains <remove-project> lines for each of these packages (you generally don't want to modify manifest.xml directly, as that would screw up syncing the repo):
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<remove-project name="CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_Email" />
<remove-project name="CyanogenMod/android_packages_apps_UnifiedEmail" />
</manifest>
Be sure to do a repo sync -f before you rebuild. I don't know what effect removing Email.apk will have, of course -- it should just prevent the email app from being included -- but you can give it a whirl.
