Re: mame builds take forever

Hi, on a scrubbed mock cache, an 8-thread (make -j8) mock build took 40:24. Keep in mind that starting with 0.147, mess is built from the same srpm. The configuration I am sporting here is a Fedora 17 x86_64 install running gnome shell, on a bare metal Intel Core i7-2720QM and 4 GiB of system memory. My smolt profile is available here: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_1eec606f-137a-46a1-922f-98f40180efa6 The memory usage of the whole system was oscillating between 1.6 and 3 GiB for most of the time, but ld itself required up to 2.4 GiB alone during the final mame linking. And this is for just x86_64 build at a time, which probably doubles when i686 is being built at the same time. I am guessing that what is happening is that the builder runs out of ram and swaps itself to death. If I could somehow force only one build at a time, this could help. Otherwise we might need to bump the builder memory - how much does it have now? Regards, Julian W dniu 09.10.2012 13:29, Nicolas Chauvet pisze:
