How to disable Windows Incremental Linking

[mohan reddy V]

Hi,

I Followed the the procedure in the following link to enable
incremental linking for windows build:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/WindowsIncrementalLinking

While build the chromium code its expecting some unexpected .exe files
( for example while buildng base/debug_message, its expecting
debug_message.exe etc)
that too the link time is not improving.

My system configuration is as follows:
Windows-7, 32-bit PC
4 GB RAM
i3 processor

I think incremental linking is applied only on the 64 bit OS with
8/12GB ram we can get better performance, in windows 23 bit OS it
might not fesible.
Is there any other way to improve link time, currently its taking
aroung 15-20 minutes for linking chrome_dll.

Please let me know the procedure how to disable the incremental
linking in windows.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

With Best Regards,
Mohan Reddy.

With "only" 4GB of RAM, I would recommend the component build: http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/component-build. It will still take a long time, but should improve. Using the release build instead of debug might make a difference too. Incremental is off in release.

The page you linked to has instructions for disabling the incremental linker patch.
