[webkit-gtk] Compiling the lib w/ 4GB RAM

[Lothar Scholz]

A developer should not try to compile any browser engine with 4GB.
Simply as that.
Even if the file is compiled, you will run into linking problems later
with this low amount of RAM.
And if you try (very recommended) link time optimization even 32GB RAM
is giving you disk swapping.
