Thanks for the tip, Nikos. I wouldn't mind trying this, because qtwebengine
is a pain to emerge on resource constrained hardware:
>>> Running pre-merge checks for dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.15.10_p20230623
* Checking for at least 20 GiB RAM ...
* Amount of main memory is insufficient, but amount
* of main memory combined with swap is sufficient.
* Build process may make computer very slow! [ ok ]
* Checking for at least 7 GiB disk space at "/var/tmp/portage/dev-qt/
qtwebengine-5.15.10_p20230623/temp" ... [ ok ]
* Checking for at least 150 MiB disk space at "/usr" ... [ ok ]
However, I wonder what will break if I were to do this:
$ euse -i webengine
