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

Zucca@sopuli.xyz · 7 pts · 1y (2 replies)

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.

Homie UPTIME IS 36 DAYS?!?? what does this computer do???? 💀💀💀💀

Zucca@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 1y

It passes the network to my TV. Just sits there. Although I planned it to act as a "pi hole" for ad blocking.

Maybe some day...

Yes.

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

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

Yeah, tools often have compiler-flags. For example, support for other software you have or don't want to have. It's the more simple alternative to autodetection during compile, like mpv does. For example, X11 vs. Wayland.

Good job catto!, i wonder how long it took

introvertcatto@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 7 pts · 1y

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.
