Re: [crux-arm] Compiling web browser on RPI2
That sounds great Guido. I'm using an external usb hdd for this pourpose (pkgmk work dir and a swap file). Lot of patience with this big build. I hope it'll finish right soon. Regards, Victor.

Hi Victor, Thanks for your suggestion, I'm sure you found one of my problems, because I had no swap at all on my system, and now the build process works longer than before. I'm having another problem now: After many hours of work, it freeze.... I'm considering the fact that my sdcard could be too much stressed, so at this moment I booted from root=/dev/sda1 (an external usb HDD) and it's working at the moment... I'm waiting for the build to complete and I let you know...
Thanks again
Regards,
Guido

Hey Guido, to build firefox (I haven't tested midori but if it needs qt you'll hit the same problem while building that beast) you need a big amount of swap. I've built firefox and chromium on the cubieboard2 without problems but I'm using 14GB of swap file. Probably only ~8-9GB are needed.
If you can give a try and report it'd be great.

Hi all, I'm trying to compile a web browser on my RPI2 on crux-arm 3.2, but every time I try (Firefox or Midori), the build fails killing cc1plus because of a low memory issue. I freed the GPU ram to leave all available memory to the build process, but I had same result.
I also tried to cross compile them using pkgutils-cross and toolchain but no success
I'm considering qemu and a virtual system... what do you think about that? Is there any guide to this kind of processes?
Thank you for your help
Best regards
Guido
