Description wbrana 2013-01-29 21:39:03 UTC
Chromium takes long time to compile, which can be improved by possibility of disabling features using build flags like:
remoting, input_speech, printing, enable_webrtc, enable_background, disable_nacl
Comment 1 wbrana 2013-01-29 21:50:23 UTC
enable_printing is exact flag, not printing
Comment 2 wbrana 2013-01-30 10:33:28 UTC
built successfully with -Dremoting=0 -Dinput_speech=0 -Denable_webrtc=0 -Ddisable_nacl=1
and Chromium was reduced by 23 MB

1. We're not going to disable nacl as said in earlier bugs.
2. Same for webrtc - it seems to be a part of web platform.
3. In theory remoting, input_speech, printing, and background _could_ be flags, but I found no meaningful difference in compile time with remoting=0 and remoting=1. I do not think it's worth it for the stated use case (faster compiles). Feel free to show performance data indicating otherwise, just make sure to make a fair comparison (e.g. http://linux-mm.org/Drop_Caches).
