Angular 2 AOT build error - JavaScript heap out of

Question

My Angular 2 app is generated by angular2-webpack-starter.

When I run command npm run build:aot to build AOT package, the console shows the following error message:

..... 92% chunk asset optimization

I have followed this post to add --max-old-space-size=8192 option for Node.js, but it seems that there is no effect.
