Something is off there. I have Ryzen 3900X and it takes around 1-1,5 hours to compile ungoogled chromium.
It is really hard to keep up-to-date with security patches if you need to compile every few days from source with that time..
Edit: Also 32GB RAM which matters
- throwdbaaway 5y agoHere with Ryzen 5700G, it takes almost 2.5 hours to compile chromium (doing one at the moment). This is with /var/tmp/portage mounted on tmpfs.
- ghoward 5y agoI have a 3900, no X, and 32 GB of RAM. I used to use a tmpfs, but I found that the build would run out of memory.
- nicce 5y agoWhat if you try to compile in similar way than here? https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=ungoogled-chromium https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=ungoo... Edit: Also, 3900 is 3900X running on eco mode (same spec but half power). You might get a lot more performance by tuning BIOS settings.
- ghoward 5y agoI'm not going to try to compile by hand, unfortunately. <shudder> I'll take a peek at the BIOS, but I'll also no good at doing such things.
- bee_rider 5y agoDo you have to do the make clean all, or equivalent, every time? Chrome has a ton of bits and bobs built in, right? Not all of which need to be updated every time (I guess?). I wonder how it compares to the build time of something with equivalent functionality, like firefox.
- numpad0 5y agoThe fact that it takes 1.5 hours on essentially an early 2000s supercomputer cluster full steam ahead to compile a fancy HTML viewer with integrated lightweight Java-like mini script language is bonkers.
