FWIW I once tried and failed to compile Chrome. My machine didn't have enough RAM to compile chrome at the time. Even though it was able to fully compile any other software I threw at it.
- lifesaverluke 2y agoYeah, you need a big machine. I provide Chromium builds for AWS Lambda, compiling on a large EC2 instance.
- sebazzz 2y agoIs that special to the Chrome codebase, or inherent to the fact that a web browser is now basically an operating system by itself?
- poincaredisk 2y agoI think parent's point was that Chrome is not open-source, chromium is.
- ramesh31 2y agoBut also this. Compiling Chromium from source is a nontrivial task, even for a senior dev, and requires an extremely powerful system.
