memory required to compile FreeCAD

[sps]

Hello,
I'd like to develop some thing new with FreeCAD, so I need to develop and use the code of FreeCAD and all its dependencies.

Because I have to develop all that in a cloud development environment, I need to know how much memory all the compiled code+all dependencies require if installed on a Linux machine, let's say with Ubuntu 14.04.

Did you try to install it on a cloud development environment, and if yes could you suggest me which one it is, or could be the best for my purpose?

Thanks

I don't know how much memory is required, but we use Travis CI for our continues integration and I think that has 4GB of memory available. The build script can be seen here: .travis.yml.

But Travis is for Mac OS only, or no?

Does it provide a complete development IDE environment?

No, ubuntu support was first. The script I linked to creates builds using a ubuntu 14.04 image as well as macOS.

Travis CI is for automated builds. It is not a generic server that you can log into.

By the way, why is that? Unless you only need to use FreeCAD without a GUI, I don't see how it is going to work well.

Mmm, maybe you're right. But I'm having some troubles with my hardware.

Are you using a laptop? What kind of troubles? Not sure I can help, but maybe it is a solvable issue.

Thanks for help,
but some hardware is a bit old... (just a money problem, sorry )

I'm just looking for a solution to work online safe and without thinking... it's not a problem of FreeCAD
