Hello Chuck, we had a similar problem with a very large project. At one point it would compile so slowly that I could write down the names of the units being compiled. It turned out that it was to do with circular references.
We had one master unit "Master" which referenced more than 100 other units, eg: "Slave1", "Slave2", etc..... up until "SlaveN". Now each slave unit also referenced "Master". The compiler does not appear to treat this very efficiently. Once we broke the circular reference for the 100 files the compile time dropped to a couple of seconds. We achieved this by creating a new unit and moving the Slave references from Master to this new unit. We were able to do this because we were just making sure that the Slave units were linked in to the project and not actually required by Master. You might not be so lucky and it might require a bit more thought. Hope that this helps. -- Best regards, Stephen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
