Is compiling in puppy slower than elsewhere?

#1 Post by Amfiarz »

Hi,

for about three hours i've been trying to compile glibc-2.5 :D I mean I set the configuration and 2,5 hrs ago typed 'make'. It's computing until now and i don't know how long it will last. But in the gnu glibc site you can read:
plenty of time. Compiling just the shared and static libraries for 35mins on a 2xPIII@550Mhz w/ 512MB RAM. On a 2xUltraSPARC-II@360Mhz w/ 1GB RAM it takes about 14 minutes. Multiply this by 1.5 or 2.0 if you build profiling and/or the highly optimized version as well.
Well, i'm making with "-Os -pthread" flags on P4 1500mhz with 512mb ram. So it should have finished some time ago :D Is it the matter with compiler? It's compressed in devx_214.sfs or something, so maybe constant uncompressing needed parts and eat much time, but i don't know if works that way. Will installing gcc into pupsave.2fs make it faster? Or maybe it is as it should be and other linuxes would make the same time?
