If you intend to do serious LilyPond development work
in a virtual machine running ubuntu I think you need
a minimum of 800Mb ram (rather than my 500Mb) in order
to continue work in other windows while make doc is
running and at least a 10Gb virtual disk (rather than my 8Gb) if
you want
to keep regression tests and docs
at the same time.
Hmm. How much free space was on the system when you got it?
I didn't take note at the time, and since then I've upped the
release level and applied several security updates.
I've never used more than 2 gigs for lilypond (an SD card -- to be
fair, this is 2 gigs reserved for lilypond: full git checkout and
compiled source).
Running make doc, make test-baseline and make check adds quite
a bit. In fact after running make doc succesfully there was 1.2Gb
free (on my nominal 8Gb virtual disk), but make test-baseline
failed before completing when it had used all this available space.
And I haven't yet run make check.
The disk analyser now shows:
home: 3.4 Gb, of which
git: 3.1 Gb, of which
input/regression 1.1 Gb (incomplete)
out 1.1 Gb
out-www 0.5 Gb
.local 0.3 Gb
usr: 2.3 Gb
var: 0.8 Gb
lib: 0.4 Gb
.... plus smaller others to fill it up
Perhaps Carl or Neil can say how large git becomes when
all the regression tests and docs are present, so I can
estimate more accurately how big I need to make my
virtual drive.
Both my netbooks have 512 Mb ram, so this can't be a problem,
either. While compiling, I read+write emails and surf the net
with firefox. Actually, a few months ago I would play a 3d RTS
(warzone2100) while compiling.
I think the lack of ram was more to do with the number of
open windows. I'm used to running with quite a few in Vista
(a quick look shows 12 at the moment, it's often more), and
I probably had half-a-dozen open in ubuntu (2 consoles, mail,
browser, editor, git gui, gitk, ... I'll have to get used to
closing windows down when I'm not actively using them.
