Now [tongue-in-cheek], can someone do something about the horrendous
build times for such packages (webkitgtk2 can take up to 3 hours on
my [no so slow] build host!)?
In order of decreasing tongue in cheekiness.
1. Rewrite webkit in something that is not C++ - by far the most awful
language when it comes to compile times.
2. Use icecc.bbclass to 'borrow' computing power from colleagues
(untested, unproven).
3. Invest into a serious CPU. I have 22 cores here, and it is not a
luxury, but an absolute necessity to get anything done as far as oe-core
maintenance goes. Webkit's do_compile takes about half an hour - I can
almost see that progress bar move :)
