← Back to context Comment by lifesaverluke 6 months ago The process is well documented :-) 6 comments lifesaverluke Reply dudus 6 months ago FWIW I once tried and failed to compile Chrome. My machine didn't have enough RAM to compile chrome at the time. Even though it was able to fully compile any other software I threw at it. sebazzz 6 months ago Is that special to the Chrome codebase, or inherent to the fact that a web browser is now basically an operating system by itself? poincaredisk 6 months ago I think parent's point was that Chrome is not open-source, chromium is. ramesh31 6 months ago But also this. Compiling Chromium from source is a nontrivial task, even for a senior dev, and requires an extremely powerful system. lifesaverluke 6 months ago Yeah, you need a big machine. I provide Chromium builds for AWS Lambda, compiling on a large EC2 instance. recursive 6 months ago Just like the US tax code is well documented?
