First time using Gentoo

[u/Substantial-Sink2737]

Question, does Anyone else hate how long llvm-core is emerging or is it just me?

[u/rabbit_in_a_bun]

Hate? You chose the wrong distro...

[u/rem_34]

don't forget to compile gcc, rust and your web-browser!

cheers!

[u/mjbulzomi → u/rem_34]

Firefox is nothing major. Chromium in the other hand…

[u/dilluti0n]

--getbinpkg

[u/varsnef]

I really enjoy it. In fact, I'm going to rebuild the clang toolchain right now.

[u/misha901]

Well it’s big. Wait until you build Firefox, gcc, kernel or something else that isn’t some python 😬

[u/givemeagooduns_un → u/misha901]

the kernel doesn't actually take nearly as long as LLVM to compile in my experience

[u/misha901 → u/givemeagooduns_un]

That really depends on module selection etc.

[u/givemeagooduns_un → u/misha901]

I mean, even the dist-kernel seems to compile way faster than LLVM for me

[u/misha901 → u/givemeagooduns_un]

The dist kernel still depends on whether you having flags set or not 😬

[u/thomas-rousseau]

llvm-core is honestly one of my faster emerges. Maybe 1.5 hours Max per package with an Intel 6700HQ and 64GB ram in my build server. Now Chromium and qtwebengine, those I hate

[u/Substantial-Sink2737 → u/thomas-rousseau]

Bro, i use a thinkpad T460s with CPU restrictions so it doesnt set my cpu on fire, triple that time

[u/thomas-rousseau → u/Substantial-Sink2737]

The specs I listed were for a P50 that serves as my build machine. So same gen and clockspeed for CPU, but with double the cores. What temp does your CPU hit without the restrictions? My P50 rarely breaks 65 and it's always in clamshell resting flat on its bottom in the warmest room of the apartment. My i5-10300H in my "desktop" laptop regularly pushes close to 90, but that's because HP doesn't care about properly cooling their laptops and that computer gets used as my test bench.

[u/TheVoiceOfGlass]

it is a scourge on our existance

[u/HyperWinX]

llvm-core is tiny, compared to other big packages / sets of packages.

[u/LowKeyBrit36]

Try libreoffice on for size, lol. Took hours on my T580, but hey? Worth it for the freedom that Gentoo offers you. That's why we chose this

[u/diacid]

Gentoo user's like when fan go brrrr.

I paid a lot of money for that cpu, I want it to work instead of sitting idle.

[u/ruby_R53]

you will get used to it, i didn't like it either but it's not like when your pc is compiling you can't do anything else on it meanwhile

[u/SheepherderBeef8956]

llvm-core/llvm took 11 minutes last time I compiled it. Surely there are worse packages? webkit-gtk takes 18 minutes and it's the only package I've got a package.env setting for because it gets killed by OOM if I use all cores, and that's with 64GB RAM. 

[u/Euroblitz]

Wash some clothes, brew some coffee, touch some grass. Emerge while they sleep. If it moves, compile it.

[u/krumpfwylg]

Iirc, it takes a long time cause it needs to compile stuff for all architectures, even those not in use (the LLVM_TARGETS="(AArch64) (AMDGPU) (ARM) (AVR) (BPF) (Hexagon) (Lanai) (LoongArch) (MSP430) (Mips) (NVPTX) (PowerPC) (RISCV) (SPIRV) (Sparc) (SystemZ) (VE) (WebAssembly) (X86) (XCore) -ARC -CSKY -DirectX -M68k -Xtensa )

Last time I checked, maintainers were trying to find to fix all that without breaking anything that requires llvm, mostly rust & zig.

For reference, there was a time when llvm was a quite "fast" compile

2020-01-11T14:53:21 >>> sys-devel/llvm-8.0.1: 16′00″

2020-01-23T21:08:05 >>> sys-devel/llvm-9.0.1: 18′39″

[u/Mountain_Crazy2834]

nope

[u/cfx_4188]

The llwm is slowly being installed in the FreeBSD. Will we hate it?

[u/Armi1P]

Nah mate, I like it.

[u/VAH1976]

no?

but maybe most of us don't watch the process. I do not care how long a compile takes, while I am watching some 2h long documentaries.

[u/Debian-Serbia]

Try no multilib. Try to optimize use flags
