Which platform were you compiling on, and when? It's been some years now, but Chromium used to build with MSVC on Windows.

Which platform were you compiling on, and when? It's been some years now, but Chromium used to build with MSVC on Windows.
- I_AM_A_SMURF 7y agoI worked on both, it's no comparison. Firefox builds in about 40min on my macbook pro, Chromium takes like 4 hours?
- tim-- 7y agoI can't even get Chromium to build on my MacBook Pro, so there's that. (15-inch, 2018, 16GB RAM) What magic are you using to be able to build Chromium?
- microcolonel 7y agoAFAIK you'd need to limit the compiler threads, and hopefully the linker doesn't run out of memory. 16GiB of memory is really not enough.
- I_AM_A_SMURF 7y agoLimiting the threads as somebody elses said. For chromium no one really builds it on a laptop, everyone in my team used a build server or a 32 core monster desktop.
- bzbarsky 7y agoSometime in the last 6 months, on Mac and Linux both.
