I am trying to compile chromium using “bitbake chromium”. I followed the section “5.6.6 Chromium Browser on X11, XWayland and Wayland” of document “i.MX Yocto Project User's Guide”.
The result is a lot of GBytes of disk usage and a lot of GBytes of ram usage. The compilation fails cause of a excessive RAM consumption when ld works.
I paste the last lines of “bitbake chromium” and dmesg lines.
Anybody has an idea to solve this problem?

Hello,
Unfortunately, chromium is not supported for us. For that, you need to go directly to Google. I apologize for this inconvenient.
Best Regards,
Diego.
Hello Diego Perez,
I am also facing the same problem when doing bitbake chromium package.
I'm trying to build again after creating the swap file.
Below links may help you
gcc - Why is the linker terminating on me? when i build CLang - Stack Overflow

You can create swap file by following steps from this link.
Cheers,
Ambika.
Hello Ambika,
Thanks for share your links.
I have 12 GB and I put 8GB for linux under virtual box, but the result is the same, ld fail.
Do you have best result with swap file?
BR
Diego.
