 |
|
Hi there, I'm installing www-client/chromium.
After 7.30 HOURS it's still building the second package (16 total), dev-libs/ppl-0.11.2-r1.
Is it normal? 
(7.30 hours @ CPU 100%, 66 celsius degrees, my netbook is going to explode)

well, netbooks are not very powerful, so probably, yes it is normal.
Do you have a more powerful desktop running gentoo? if so you can set up distcc to do most of the work on your desktop machine.

dol-sen,
Depending on your hardware, yes it could be quite a while. Just a suggestion - firefox has a bin package (www-client/firefox-bin) i.e. no compilation necessary.
If you're considering libreoffice, I would suggest app-office/libreoffice-bin
Unfortunately, there's no bin package for chromium.
Good luck  |

You can get close enough to a bin package for chromium with www-client/google-chrome, it's not quite as good because it has proprietary bits and (supposedly) additional tracking crap, but hey, it's a bin package for a chromium(-based) browser... |

Well if you have an Intel Atom in a netbook, be prepared for veeeery long compilation times of large packages like chromium and libreoffice. Chromium for me takes about 8-10 hours on a Atom N270. Libreoffice? Maybe 12-14 hours  Netbooks aren't made for fast compiling, but to have a long battery life  still compiling stuff with the associated cflags makes them work better, i find. |

Hint: there is the precompiled libreoffice-bin

| Yeah I didn't mean to write that post in that sense. I really like the compiling aspect of Gentoo, with all the cflags and so on. And my 2,5W Atom will fight the code masses, guided by commander Portage Thanks for the hints anyway |
