19 min. is reasonable if your computer is not new. This is why people use git to clone the repository rather than copying a .zip file. The source code is HUGE. If you think 19 minutes is a long time to copy it, wait until you compile it and run the tests... (use the "j" option on the make command so you put all the CPU cores to work when you build it.) So after copying, in a few weeks after they fix a bug you will need to download and compile the entire thing over again and build from scratch again. But had you used git to clone the repository then after a change you only pull down the change and only recompile the parts that depend on that change. Git also gives you a full history of every change so you can back them out if need be. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
