Nice. What device is it?
Anybody any thoughts on why the tdebase (from
git) build is so heavy on
ram? It makes building on embedded systems even more arduos than one
might expect.
On a desktop PC with 6 cores and 32GB ram, the build uses over 7GB of
ram in the first couple of minutes ( I didn't build to the end, just
wanted a quick check). Not many embeded systems are that ram abundant :)
On the arm devices I've tried to natively build on, all the ram is used
almost immediately (largest ram I have is 2G) and I can throw swap space
at it ad infinitum without success.

My little builder has 12 GiB RAM. It is also used as tmpfs where is carried
out building. A build for amd64/i386 run in parallel
with armel, armhf and
mips. That means four builders running side by side. And I did not notice
problems with memory.
Ok, it's looking like I'm the problem :)
Cheers,
Mike.
