I'm currently updating MSYS2, and will then repeat the build. Then I'll test on
another computer.
And when it's happening there as well, I'll try to narrow down the reason.
I just configured a new computer and I am having problems with MSYS2. I
can't even create the "symbolic" links needed at start up. I am not
sure why. Probably some priveleges issues.
But I did verify the build on Cygwin and it was about the same as
always. About 7 minutes using configuration stm32f4discovery with
realtime virus checking off. [That is disappointing to me because I
just built hot new Rizen 5 PC and expected better].
Windows WSL is only a little faster.
If fast build turn-around time is what you need, you can't beat Linux.
I am seeing build times in the 30 second range there. I used to get
about 10-15 seconds in the past, I think the ARM Embedded Toolchain is a
lot slower these days. I have heard people in the past who got the
build time down to 7 seconds in the past.
For me, I can live with 7 minutes for the convenience of using my
Windows desktop.
