I'm upgrading the system and running out of disk space to compile webkit-gtk

* Checking for at least 18 gigabytes disk space at "/var/tmp/portage/net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.0.4/temp" ...
[ !! ]
* There is NOT at least 18 gigabytes disk space at "/var/tmp/portage/net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.0.4/temp"

df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 28G 16G 11G 61% /
/dev/root 28G 16G 11G 61% /
tmpfs 506M 540K 505M 1% /run
udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
shm 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda4 84G 51G 29G 65% /home

How do I tell the system to use /home partition to use for compiling temp tiles?

See the PORTAGE_TMPDIR variable in "man make.conf".

For such a change to apply only to webkit-gtk (or any other package you want, actually), you can try package.env. Checkout make.conf's manpages to see how it is used.

Hope that helps!

portage.env allows per-package environment variables.

This will use two special "configurations" for libreoffice:

holger>grep libreoffice /etc/portage/package.env
app-office/libreoffice clang.conf no-tmpfs.conf

A configuration is simply a set of variables:

holger>cat /etc/portage/env/no-tmpfs.conf
PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp"

So replace libreoffice with webkit-gtk and whatever path you want for
PORTAGE_TEMPDIR.

It appears to only require such a ridiculous amount if you build with
debugging flags.

This would be an easy solution but debug flags are off:
[ebuild N ] net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.8.3-r300:3 USE="geoloc gstreamer introspection jit spell webgl (-aqua) -coverage -debug -doc {-test} -webkit2" 7,631 kB

It appears that only libproxy-0.4.10-r1 needs webkit-gtk-1.6:3
net-libs/libproxy-0.4.10-r1 (webkit ? >=net-libs/webkit-gtk-1.6:3)

I'm not sure you have usb3, but if you do and you have a usb3 stick,
it's useful for this temporary expanded space need and so much more. Sure
it probably will not run as fast as your native HD, but, it's
a very handy device for this and many other needs. Or you can move
something big from the partition where you compile, on a temporary
basis.....

just a thought,
hth,
James

You might need to sync your system before emerging to get the latest version:

I have changed in make.conf:
PORTAGE_TMPFS="/home/joseph/tmp"

but trying to compile webkit-gtk-2.0.4 I'm running out of disk space
* Checking for at least 18 gigabytes disk space at "/var/tmp/portage/net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.0.4/temp" ...
[ !! ]
* There is NOT at least 18 gigabytes disk space at "/var/tmp/portage/net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.0.4/temp"

Why is it checking for disk space at:
/var/tmp/portage/net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.0.4/temp

I just did, but it doesn't help webkit-gtk-2.0.4 still asking 18GB disk space to compile.

Note that as Holger says, you need to use /etc/portage/package.env
to ensure that you're not setting debugging flags like CFLAGS="-g"
either, to stop webkit-gtk from wanting 18GB.

/etc/portage/package.env:
net-libs/webkit-gtk no-debug.conf

/etc/portage/env/no-debug.conf:
CFLAGS="<put your normal CFLAGS without -g, -ggdb, etc.>"
CXXFLAGS="<ditto>"

Cheers,
Khumba

Thanks for the pointer. That was it!
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -ggdb"

I must have been running some debugging in the past and forgot to reset the "-ggdb" flag.

Thanks.

"Checking for sufficient disk space to build ${PN} with debugging CFLAGS"

None here and 2.0.4 has built with 7G, and on the other box with 12G.

Because you should have set PORTAGE_TMPDIR

Even better might be a USB 3.0 hard drive: cheaper per GB than USB sticks, and not having the problem of write exhaustion that I've heard about for flash media.

If there is sufficient hard-disk space in the same or other partition, it might be helpful to redirect the work dir.

I might want to make a USB-stick installation of Gentoo to be able to carry from one computer to another.
