GCC emacs on solus?

lf-araujo

GccEmacs refers to the --with-native-compilation configuration option when building Emacs, which adds support for compiling EmacsLisp to native code using libgccjit. All of the Elisp packages shipped with Emacs are native-compiled, providing a noticeable performance improvement out-of-the-box. Third-party packages are also compiled to achieve further performance improvements.

So I have been trying to improve emacs performance on my machine. Did anyone on this community managed to install the version with native compilation and would mind sharing the steps?

Their git seems to be unreachable at this moment. And in any case I think the Emacs shipped by Solus could be the gcc version... are there any regressions associated to it?

Thanks.

Here is the package.yml Solus uses to build it. It doesn't look like it's compiled with that option.

EbonJaeger Thanks. Yes I saw the build specs, and made the suggestion at the Solus Dev environment. However my comment was deleted by @JoshStrobl , perhaps that was the wrong place to discuss this.
