Depending how many kde programs you are installing. On my P II 450 MHz, 392 MB RAM, I compile arts kde-libs and kde-base in about 20 hours to one day. But I don't have any other kde parts compiling.
On my Dell Optiplex 270, P4 2700 MHz at the office, 1 GB RAM took about half a day to compile all kde.

Go for a meal - see a movie - drink, fart amd sleep and then check it again

emerge mozilla-firefox

If you already emerged X and mozilla-firefox then you don't need kde to check gmail.

Me too. I recomend to emerge kde-base and not kde. Kde-base won't install all the packages but only the usefull.

With my Athlon XP 1700+ I spend 6 hours to compile it.

And I use kdebase only, too. It's just enough.

On my P3-800 laptop with 256mb ram it took:

Code: Select all

Estimated update time: 1 day, 21 hours, 30 minutes.

according to genlop with a emerge -epv kde |genlop -p

My AMD64-3200 took about 6 hours to do the job (this was including firefox and thunderbird)

a long a$$ time

. Do it before you go to bed or go to work. Don't start it if you're in a hurry to do something else with the box. Try to get the kdebase first, then add on the other components later.

On my machine, 2.6GH Mobile P4, on a WinXP vmware host,
kdebase and kdelibs emerged in 7 hours:

root # genlop -t kdebase
* kde-base/kdebase
Sun Dec 12 12:05:18 2004 --> kde-base/kdebase-3.3.1-r1
merge time: 3 hours, 48 minutes, and 27 seconds.
merged totally 1 ebuild in 3 hours, 48 minutes, and 27 seconds.

root # genlop -t kdelibs
* kde-base/kdelibs
Sun Dec 12 08:00:05 2004 --> kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.1-r1
merge time: 3 hours, 15 minutes, and 35 seconds.
merged totally 1 ebuild in 3 hours, 15 minutes, and 35 seconds.

I've done it all in under 5 hours on a AMD 64 2800+ with 512M ram.

Just finished emerging kde on an athlon-xp 2600 using distcc. Other machines are a dual Xeon PII450 and another athlon-xp 2600. Took approximately 11 hours to complete.

zieloo · Post by **zieloo** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 9:04 pm

Code: Select all

* kde-base/kdebase

Mon Nov  1 19:29:24 2004 >>> kde-base/kdebase-3.2.2
       merge time: 2 hours, 25 minutes and 46 seconds.

 * kde-base/kdelibs

Mon Dec 27 12:08:29 2004 >>> kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2
       merge time: 2 hours, 11 minutes and 59 seconds.

Total: ~ 4,5h (less than expected;P)

starting compilation before he goes to bed is bad timing.
on my p3 700mhz laptop it must have taken me more than 24hours because i had to ctrl-c in between. lol.

Code: Select all

emerge kde

28h on P3 @ 666MHz 256MB RAM

I remember that even on Celeron 466MHz with 128RAM it took only a few hours (around six/eight - don't know how many exactly) to emerge kdebase only. And on this, let's say, 'slow' machine the compilation wasn't so painful;P
