[chromium-dev] Re: How much RAM needed to get past linking? (Linux)
Wrapping up: With 2GB of RAM it seems I can compile the debug mode, even without using the "gold" replacement for ld. The linking step of the final executable takes the remaining 1.5Gb~1.7Gb of physical memory, then another 500Mb~600Mb of swap. It stays at that level instead of gradual expanding until swap overloads. I haven't finished quite yet due to missing symbols error (like crbug #26496) but I'm confident that we've found the current requirements. Best to have 3Gb+, can be done with 2Gb + 1Gb+ of swap.

[chromium-dev] How much RAM needed to get past linking? (Linux)
Hi, I was building on Fedora 10 and was able to compile but the linking stage (see below) consumes more and more memory- the 500Mb of remaining memory, then another 1Gb of swap- before being killed. . Compiling /home/akira/chromium/src/sconsbuild/Debug/obj/chrome/chrome/ app/chrome_exe_main_gtk.o Compiling /home/akira/chromium/src/sconsbuild/Debug/obj/chrome/chrome/ app/chrome_dll_main.o Linking /home/akira/chromium/src/sconsbuild/Debug/chrome collect2: ld terminated with signal 9 [Killed] scons: *** [/home/akira/chromium/src/sconsbuild/Debug/chrome] Error 1 scons: building terminated because of errors. I've tried setting the number of scons jobs to be limited to 1 just in case that could help (by 'export SCONSFLAGS="-j 1"') but no change. Could other linux users tell me the amount of physical memory on their machines? I want to find out the minimum successful case.
