Improving www/chromium build time on arm64
Date: Tue, 23 May 2023 07:31:24 UTC
Hello all,
I'm running 13-STABLE on rpi4 8 and since firefox{-esr} is constantly tab
crashing and seg faulting I decided to give chromium a try.
chromium pkg isn't available for arm64 and I didn't found error log at
https://pkg-status.freebsd.org/ so I decided to build it on poudriere.
It fails to build around 70% but my biggest concern is build time: 27 hours
for 70% compilation!
Just for comparison:
llvm15: 12h
rust: 9h
firefox: 6h
rip4 v1.5 8GB @ 2000Hz ~62 Celsius
zfs
poudriere:
USE_TMPFS=no
PARALLEL_JOBS=1
ALLOW_MAKE_JOBS=yes
Any hints on how to speed build? ccache?
Does cflags "-O -pipe" not present in compilation is related to build time?
Full log:
https://people.freebsd.org/~eduardo/logs/chromium/chromium-113.0.5672.126.log
Thanks!

Try to set MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes and rebuild before reporting the failure to
the maintainer.
