I agree. It took a full day to compile lyx with gcc 2.96 on my Pentium 120.
This is way too much for a word processor, even and especially for the
best. And there are some files such as lyxfunc.C that takes so long that
gcc seems to be stuck.
I remember someone (Lars?) said that compiling without debug code (i.e.
-g) should be easier. Please recall us how in the INSTALL file, under the
"Problems" section.
Over that, there could be an option to help compiling easier on low-end
machines. That would lower the entry barrier. It certainly helps
open-source development if people can easily compile the code.
