Does this build still work? Last time I tried it it was broken again (something in v8...). I think you need somewhere around 2gb of RAM + some swap to build. I note the WebKitGtk hackers (who are on relatively weak laptops) will actually close down most of the software they're using when it comes time to link, to make more memory available. :~( -- Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev
