Whats the compile times with intel celeron and 4gb of rams

[–] introvertcatto@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

It took me 6-8 hours to install. Started 12-13 ended in 19 hours.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

Yes.

[–] Zucca@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago

4GB is barely enough. But you can limit the compilation threads to save memory. For big compilations you should reserve around 1.5GB per compilation thread.

As for celeron... You'd better use binary host, at least for big packages (or have your own binary host).

Here I have one old Chromebox for which I flashed coreboot into.

2024-03-13T09:59:14 >>> net-libs/nodejs-20.11.0: 3:36:15
2024-05-10T05:02:52 >>> net-libs/nodejs-20.12.1: 6:12:09
2024-10-01T00:25:35 >>> net-libs/nodejs-22.4.1-r1: 7:24:58
2024-12-26T01:43:48 >>> net-libs/nodejs-22.4.1-r1: 15:32:58

The three first lines show compilation times of nodejs with quite normal compilation settings. On the last line I enabled some ridiculous optimizations, like -funroll-loops and -fipa-pta but also -lto (which probably contributes the most of the compilation time increase). I've retired this box now, but I might give it a new life as some home automation box.

Obligatory fastfetch.

... and because I had some 8GB DDR3 SODIMM RAM sticks I stuffed the maximum amount in there. If I was on 4GB, I'd use binhost or tune the compilation settings so that the process would use as little memory as possible.

heck yeah, welcome fellow gentoo user!

Edit: Just in time for xfce 4.20 to become stable soon too!

Good job catto!, i wonder how long it took

[–] introvertcatto@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 7 months ago

Thanks, surpassingly, it didn't take long around 6-8 hours. I started at around 12-13 and ended at 19. I did kind of speed run installation and did as fast as possible. I first tried installing gnome or kde, but compiling was too long, so I decided xfce.

Welcome to Gentoo!

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago

Gentoo is fun but I wish it had actual advantages in speed also. Something to make it worth compiling all that stuff.
