Try running a VM and compiling inside that...

  You mean like using Swift, D and Rust on a VMWare instance running Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS?

    Linking some amount of C++ code can get very painful very quickly on a constrained VM.
    • pjmlp 10y ago
      Linking C++ is painful anywhere, this from the point of view of someone that likes the language since 1993. Modules might finally solve it, but it will a Python3 like story until they get integrated across major compilers, libraries and frameworks.

  The nature of VMs is that you can assign memory to it. So if your machine is already light, you wouldn't give it much memory to start with, and it'd run (just slower)

    So you're saying the Mac "Pro" is OK for running things slowly.
    • bdcravens 10y ago
      Not saying that at all. Saying that if someone says it'll run in 8GB instead of 16GB, or 16 instead of 32, it's possible, but those claims ignore performance. The presence of those statements means absolutely nothing absent of context (for instance, the required performance of a Windows 10 VM isn't the same for someone just testing a site on IE versus a developer running a 300GB SQL Server database)
