[chromium-dev] Re: How much RAM needed to get past linking? (Linux)
Wrapping up: With 2GB of RAM it seems I can compile the debug mode, even without using the gold replacement for ld. The linking step of the final executable takes the remaining 1.5Gb~1.7Gb of physical memory, then another 500Mb~600Mb of swap. It stays at that level instead of gradual expanding until swap overloads. I haven't finished quite yet due to missing symbols error (like crbug #26496) but I'm confident that we've found the current requirements. Best to have 3Gb+, can be done with 2Gb + 1Gb+ of swap.

if I want to install it on Fedora I note that there isn't package (yet) It is good that you are trying to build for Fedora. I just mention that are a few rpm package options for fedora: http://spot.fedorapeople.org/chromium and the chrome dev channels rpm wrapping: http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/yum.html If you are comfortable running trunk builds or what to test them you might find http://petersen.fedorapeople.org/chromium-get-snap/ useful too.

Thanks Yuta-san. That's a good-idea-I-should-have-had-myself. It works! I missed the memory usage during the first pass, but rebuilding just the src/sconsbuild/Release/chrome executable was a mere 200Mb. When I get the extra memory I'll confirm Marc-Antoine's observation.
