Hi, we recently made the webkit/chromium/mac port buildable with ninja, a new build system focused on build speed (http://martine.github.com/ninja/). I don't have any numbers for webkit standalone builds, but in a chromium checkout ninja is 20x as fast as make on empty builds (1s instead of 20s), and 120x as fast as xcodebuild.
Giving it a try is easy: Tools/Scrips/update-webkit --chromium --ninja Tools/Scripts/build-webkit --chromium The output will appear in out/Release (or out/Debug if you do a debug build). Nico ps: If anybody is doing standalone webkit/chromium/linux builds: It's very easy to make that work with ninja, too. pps: Build perf numbers for make vs ninja for chromium builds: https://plus.google.com/101038813433650812235/posts/irc26fhRtPC _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
