It takes a lot to compile because it's a big and complex project. 4 hours to compile still seems like a lot of time to me, but if you don't have a fast computer or have little (less than 8GB) of RAM that's what it takes. WebKit developers normally use a powerful machine and/or some sort of distributed compilation. > I'm not the only curious one, see > http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7699536.html Doesn't Gentoo provide binaries for large packages? I would suggest using those for WebKitGtk, I don't quite see the point of building it yourself, particularly not using -O0 as some people seem to suggest in that forum. > If anything can be done, we'd be interested in knowing about it. Here are some tips, but if you don't have the adequate hardware don't expect miracles: https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/SpeedUpBuild Berto _______________________________________________ webkit-gtk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-gtk
