Dear Tim,

Because the MacPort process resumes at the point you aborted, you may calculate build time from the total of both partial times; 13hrs. + 6hrs. = 19hrs. for total build time. That total is close to what a bootstrap build from GNU source takes when all options are built in Linux on an INTEL single CPU system running about 2.0 to 2.5 Ghz.

On my 2.1 GHz PowerPC G5 (Mac OS X 10.5.8) I had a build of gcc43 4.3.5_2 running for about 13 hours, and aborted it, because although Activity Monitor was showing 100%, it wasn't showing any of the expected build processes.

I restarted with the -d diagnostic switch, and this time it has just completed in 6 hours. Hooray!!!

(I think the build processes run for too short a time to see in AM. With diagnostics I do see them, probably because printing slows them a bit)_______________________________________________
