[webkit-gtk] "Toos/Scripts/build-webkit --gtk --debug" is very much memory-consuming

[Joe Yu]

Hi Dan,

You're right. However, I noticed there're 3 parallel build process, which caused the CPU spend a lot of time on intensive swapping. I turned off the parallel build by pass '--makeargs=-j1', then 3 hours later my build succeeded.

Thanks,
Joe

It's not actually stuck, it's just taking a very long time. It will be faster/less-memory-hogging if you don't pass --debug. Or buy more RAM.
It's pretty cheap right now...
