Hi, When I'm working on the darcs code, I'm generally rebuilding the code fairly often. Unfortunately this seems to take a long time. Certain files, because of dependencies, have to build a lot of files again. A clean build on my machine, a 3.4ghz machine with 1 gig of ram, takes somewhere around 15 minutes. Each individual file takes a certain amount of time, and then the final link at the end takes quite a bit by itself.
The tips under 'Faster edit-compile cycle' on http://darcs.net/DarcsWiki/DeveloperTips don't seem to be valid anymore. I don't see O2 under GHCFLAGS. I did try the ghci line but it fails with an error when trying to link in curl. I may try to fight with this later, as it seems like a good option. I'll update that page once I'm sure I'm not just doing something stupid. I also tried playing with the -j option with make, but that did a fairly good job of bringing my system to its knees. Is this a normal problem for darcs developers? I thought that 3.4ghz was fairly decent these days, but I guess I can't keep up with these kids and their fast processors and their music videos and their disregard for the elderly. This is the only Haskell program I am continually building from source, so maybe this is standard fair. But I thought I'd ask in case I was just missing out on a good secret. -- Zachary P.
