@aral How much ram do you have? We used to build it on a 32GB machine
Wondering just how long it takes to build Android… this thing has been going for ages & my poor MBA sounds like it might take off soon.

@Z303 Hmm, 8GB… How long did it take on 32GB? How did you test changes quickly during dev? (New to this whole building OSes malarkey) :) -
@aral Having a nice make system that only rebuilds the changes is good. We mostly didn't need to rebuild the core OS only a few drivers -
@Z303 Gotcha; makes sense :) -
@aral We also used icecream (Distributed compiler) but that's not going to help you :( -
@Z303 Not right now but good to know for the future :) Appreciate the advice :)

@aral I read somewhere that you need 16GB of RAM at minimum to be able to do a full build, I hope you're packing some memory -
@mechhead Seems to be going on 8. Just taking a while :) -
@aral hehe, well, I hope it won't bork out half-way through, good luck :) -
@mechhead Thanks :)

@aral Building an app with the new Android Studio? -
@brennanMKE Nope, building Android itself; Cyanogenmod for my Nexus 4, to be precise. -
@aral Years ago I remember building the source code released for Netscape would take 16 hours or more on some computers. -
@brennanMKE Wow. How did they ever test anything? -
@aral I think they could build modules and use the compiled version and then just build pieces which changed to test quickly.
