5 hours to compile kde 3.2 - normal ?

pingvinen

5 hours ago i started emerging kde 3.2 beta 2

Still not finished !?

I have a

Intel Celeron 2.4GHz
1024mb DDR 2100 ram
ATA133 Seagate 120gb disk

Is it normal that it take that long ?

compile times depend a lot on use flags and whatever, so any references are bound to be inaccurate, but building KDE takes quite a while yes. (especially the first time where all the dep's need compiling too)

I didn't compile whole kde so I can't tell the time it would have taken on my axp 1800+, but compiling half the modules took over 4 hours i guess.

A friend of mine compiled his kde 5-6 hours, on 2.66ghz p4.

So, happy compiling.

yeah I get loads of these, but I don't think we need to worry about that.
I installed some other apps, they did the same, but ended up working.

I'm also using fluxbox, in case you don't know it, you should give it go.
It's loading shitfast, and this I like.

thing is, if you write something to compile on tens of systems (like solaris, bsd, linux etc) and with loads of different c libraries and compilers, it's hard enough to make it compile allready let alone take out every warning some compiler in combination with some other stuff throws out
i guess...

emerging openoffice (and other large packages) requires quite a bit of disk space. if you're not using separate partitions beware of a full partition

Last time I tried, KDE took 8 hours on my Opteron 246.

Took me 37 hours to install kde, which I have a slow computer

GCC 3.4, with Precompiled headers, should bring in a nice 30% less compile time for KDE and other C++ programs (OpenOffice, Mozilla.. )

while the install times seem long, truly how many times will you be installing something as extensive as KDE? twice? thrice?

While I know the feeling of anticipation all too well, I wouldn't complain (I'm not suggesting you are). It's the nature of the beast. I suppose the only thing we can hope for is a condor grid running distcc and compiling kde in 30 minutes.

Unfortunately, most of us don't have access to something like that... at home.

Compiling KDE on my AthlonXP 2800+ with 512mb RAM took about 13 hours. I left for work in the morning and when I came home at night it was done.

just consider how many hours you'll save in the future by having a fully customized built system.

emerge kde took about 14-16 hours (maybe longer, was done this morning) on my celeron 1.4.

now time for 'emerge openoffice' =).
