Issue when building a Pytorch based program using Pyinstaller

[piyumalranawaka]

I get the following error when I am trying to build pytorch based program. Any advise on fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated:

@rokm Is that not the error you used to get if you try to squeeze too big a package (>2GB) into a one-file?

It is.

@piyumalranawaka You're hitting the maximum size limit of 2 GB for onefile mode. Take a look at #3939 for possible solutions.

Thank you very much indeed for your kind advise, I will check into possible solutions :)
