I'm guessing that is NOT on a Windows platform? Every full build (it has
been a while) I've ever done of the compiler on windows was at least a few
minutes.
That's likely because of the slower process startup time of Windows. Also
the GNU utilities we use (make, etc.) aren't the fastest on Windows either.
Also command line output can slow down things dramatically (cmd.exe or the
PowerShell aren't that fast).
I always wondered if adapting fpmake to produce make files with native
commands like DEL or COPY instead of rm.exe and cp.exe in windows
would have any performance benefit. Is this worth the trouble?
Note: what's producing the Makefiles is fpcmake not fpmake (this are two
different programs)
I'd better wait until fpmake(!) is useful enough to (nearly) completely
replace the Makefiles and then we can check how to optimize stuff.
Regards,
Sven
