If at link step, the "ld" process stay minutes without accessing the disk, is because "ld" is too aggressive trying to merge partial constant strings, and if the program has a lot of long constant strings, the algorithm degenerate. A workaround is to add "-fno-merge-constants" at your CFLAGS and recompile all the sources. With a 1GHz machine the link should take only a few seconds. For example to link AdvanceMAME on my 1.8 GHz machine it takes only 5 seconds. -- Andrea Mazzoleni 935A 2D3C 5C70 BCD6 CB0C ED89 7C19 4321 6340 3F6D _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
