Hi all,
I am facing a problem while compiling the webkit-nightly build in debug
mode.
At the time of linking*(eg. CXXLD libwebkitgtk-3.0.la)*, it gets stopped
with an error(*eg. /usr/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Memory
exhausted)*
What, I have tried:
1)By resizing the swappiness
I think you have to have at least 8 GiB of RAM (16 GiB is recommended)
and 64-bit OS to compile webkit in debug mode.

Or you can add 8 GiB of swap, like I did before I upgraded my machine:

Hi John, Thanks for your instant response.
But, I had been compiling webkit in debug mode earlier, with the same
configurations with no such any error.
And thats why I doubt whether increasing the RAM, is an proper and generic
solution.
Thanks,
Sanjeet

Hi Sanjeet,
I can confirm that the memory is most likely the problem.
Especially WebKit/WebCore is growing steadily, whenever code is being added.
And with WebCore we (Qt) had the problem on mac of crossing the 4GB
boundary just a few days ago.
So it is very likely that other ports will
This even affects 64bit systems with 12GB of ram. :-|
So you're saying that you've tried to build webkit on 64bit system
with 12GiB of RAM and failed? How much memory is used when build is
not running?

The maintainer of the WebKitGTK+ package in Ubuntu told me about a
linker switch they are using to avoid problems when building in 32
