- At least 250GB of free disk space to check out the code and an extra 150 GB to build it. If you conduct multiple builds, you need additional space.
- At least 16 GB of available RAM is required, but Google recommends 64 GB.
As of June 2021, Google is using 72-core machines with 64 GB of RAM internally, which take about 40 minutes for a full build (and just a few minutes for incremental builds, depending on exactly which files were modified). By contrast, a 6-core machine with a similar amount of RAM takes 3 hours.
and people complain about js devstacks.........
@f0x sounds fun. lol
@f0x dear god, to build what?
@f0x oh for android. That's berserk
@f0x I hate this so much
@f0x I'm dumb but curious, how exactly does 400GB compile into something that can fit on a phone's internal storage
@hazelnot i wondered about that too but couldn't find any answers... Google be googling i guess
that's for building Android btw https://source.android.com/setup/build/requirements
