How long does a typical KDE emerge last?
Last night, I ran "emerge -f kde" to grab source code, then ran "emerge kde." That was almost 24 hours ago, and it has been running nonstop since.
Is that typical of a KDE emerge? I've got a 966MHz Intel laptop.

It depends a lot of your USE, but with that micro and support for arts, alsa, and from a fresh install it is more than possible, since a lot of deps may be needed, anyway only kdelibs compilations can last many ours. |

Yeah, KDE's a pain to emerge. It's huge, it's C++, and it's usually huge. Really big. It probably took 24 hours on my P4 :'( |

Long ago I had built KDE from ports on an old P2 that I run FreeBSD on, it took 4 days, I use fluxbox now.
Between artsd not wanting to release control of sound and long compile times, I use either Gnome [heavyweight] or Fluxbox [lightweight]. |

Emerging OpenOffice on my D800 took five hours so I can imagine KDE taking a lot of time. I'm running fluxbox myself. |

On my A64 3200+ with 1GB of RAm, emerging KDE takes about... 6-7 hours. I did it just yesterday when I upgraded to 3.3.2. Started it in 9-10am and it was finished in about 4pm. _________________ My tech-blog | My other blog |

The slowness is because of 2 reasons:
KDE is a HUGE project.
The GNU C++ Compiler is slow. Very slow. Allthough some of this is cured in GCC3.4. _________________ we are microsoft, lower your firewalls and surrender your pc's. we will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. your culture will adapt and service us. resistance is futile. |

It took one night for me as well on my 1.6 GHz Pentium-M laptop... but that was an KDE update so I only compiled the kde-packages |

My Pentium3-800 has a record of 38 full hours of compiling to get KDE crunched
Im now trying it on my AMD64-3200 to see the improvements |

Short answer: Yes it is normal
We can always look forward to GCC 3.5 though. Better at optimization and faster compile time |
