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

[Joe Yu]

Hi,

I’m a newbie for WebKit. I ‘git clone’-ed the master branch from git.webkit.org/WebKit.git and tried to build it for Gtk+. My build command was simply:

　　"Toos/Scripts/build-webkit --gtk --debug".

But I found it was always stuck at the following step:

        /bin/mkdir libwebkitgtk-3.0.la
        CXXLD libwebkitgtk-3.0.la
        CXXLD libwebkit2gtk-3.0.la
        CXXLD Programs/WebKitPluginProcess

My 64-bit oneiric almost didn't respond. I checked my system monitor and found three ld processes have consumed all my 4GB memory and 4.3GB swap. Is that a problem with the build system? Or I have to install more SDRAM?

Thanks,
Joe
