Thank you! > I haven't tested our minimum hardware recommendations on Linux - 2GB ram, > 30GB free space - recently, but I'll test them in the new year. For 64-bit Linux, I think you need 4GB at the absolute minimum (build may start swapping), and 8GB would be better. My rule of thumb is that you need a minimum of 2GB/thread that you're compiling with on 64-bit Linux (e.g. 16GB on a 4 core/8 thread machine); some of our autogenerated files take lots of RAM to compile, and you want to have a little bit left over for applications. > Anyone know offhand if it's still possible to build on a 32-bit Linux box? > We haven't been able to build on 32-bit Windows for a while now. I suspect it's possible, based on halving the RAM from a 64-bit build, but I haven't tried it. -Nathan _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
