Chromium Build on Windows

[Sudipta Biswas]

When I am building chromium with autoninja, my PC gets super slow. is it normal? And how much time it may take? I am totally new to this and really confused about how things work,

Yes, this is normal. autoninja tries to fully use all your CPU cores. In general, building Chrome in a reasonable amount of time requires lots of CPU, RAM, and I/O, probably vastly more than anything else you're used to doing.

If you don't care how long it takes, you can use the "-j" flag to lower parallelism.

It's hard to be sure but it's possible that you have not enough RAM and therefore end up using swap, which makes things slow. How much RAM do you have and what's your args.gn?

Thanks, everyone. I could build finally.
