However,
don't underestimate the amount of memory that compiling can take.
Some of those xmame modules required >200MB of memory to build on my
system with 2G of RAM, and that was with -Os and MAKEOPTS=-j1. Heaven
help you if you use -O3/-j3 (In fact, for a system with only 512M of
RAM, -j1 *will* be faster than -j2 when building xmame).
In fact, I have -O3 and -j2 ...And I didn't imagine that compiling xmame
could take so much memory. But I already compiled xmame in the past, and
I had no serious problems. Do you think that adding the "joystick" USE
flag made it all growing just too big?
Hmm. Time to buy a gigabyte RAM module? If only I had the money...
