[SOLVED] Build failed while linking. How to continue w/o rebuilding ?

$ makepkg

PKGBUILD

Setting:

8GB of RAM, approx. 4GB available
8GB of swap
Build directory ~/.cache/yay/qt5-webkit
12GB of free space on /home incl. ~/.cache/yay/qt5-webkit/src size 6GB after build
6GB free space on /

The plan is to free up some disk space and close Firefox while linking.

How to continue with the linking part without rebuilding ?

"makepkg -e" and if you want to be extra sure, skip the first cmake call in build() (so only run "cmake --build build", idk. whether the reconfig would trigger any rebuilds)
This should™ quickly skip over the existing objects first and then start the linking.

Have you tried whether the latest version in the ala still works for you?

Also, do you know why/what you still need qt5-webkit for? The last remnant for me was amarok which got ported to webengine eventually, might want to double check with

pactree -r qt5-webkit

so that you're not needlessly building a huge library that no software on your system actually uses anymore.

Closing Firefox solved the problem with OOM termination. Still, it was a close call because during linking RAM was 100% full and swap was 90%.

"makepkg -e" and commenting out cmake compilation stage solved this issue. No rebuild was triggered. Thanks !

Stock qt5-webkit works with icu version up to 74. Version 75 requires the compilation of a patched version. Later I saw that the package maintainer had already uploaded the compiled package.

My last remnant is Nixnote2.
