First off, i am not complaining, just suggesting as the build (especially link gets slower and slower)
I contribed code before to chrome, and plan to do so in the future, however even changing one line of Code in say browser.vcproj leads to 10+ mins of linking (yes TEN) what i did was wrote scripts which allow me to re-enable incremental linking and i was happy with it since you lately moved to libs for chrome_dll and the like, the process became harder but i still manage to enable incremental linking (there is an option in VS2008 to use objs instead of static libraries which re-enables incremental linking) just to give you a taste of why i say this without incremental linking i get 10+ mins of build time for changing just one line of code with inc linking i am down to ~15 seconds for a simple change,, which is SUCH a great improvement i recall you removed inc linking since some projects (i know of ui_tests) needs more than 2GB for linking but you could just disable it for this one project i hope you will re-consider introducing inc linking on VS thanx (btw, there are issues with re-introducing inc linking as lib and obj rules are different, but they are kinda small) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
