With 4 GiB you will be tight to be able to build and link WebKit, but it _might_ be possible with some tweaking: - You can pass “-DENABLE_UNIFIED_BUILDS=OFF” to disable unified builds. This will save you some memory (as you guessed, building huge combined sources takes more RAM). - Then the challenge is linking, this is slightly more likely to succeed using the GNU binutils linker instead of Gold. You can tell CMake to no try using Gold passing “-DUSE_LD_GOLD=OFF” to it. - You may still run into low memory, setting “LDFLAGS='-Wl,--no-keep-memory'” in the environment before running CMake will definitely help. - Last but not least, try to not run a desktop environment (like GNOME) at the same time, to leave more memory for the build process. - If you still run low on memory, you may need to have some swap, or increase the amount of swap space. I hope these tips help. Cheers, —Adrián
