Hi, that's unusual. I may happen that the build sometimes still crawls through already built libraries but in that case it should just take milliseconds per library to check timestamps.
A few ideas: - It seems like you still called make from superbuild level. After your superbuild was successful, you should cd into the MITK-build subdirectory instead and call make from there. No need to stay at superbuild level which will look up each Git repository for all dependencies again for differences. This may take a long time in some network-related circumstances... I guess this is already your main issue. - I suggest to do a multi-core build by specifying the -j parameter to make with the number of parallel build processes. This will speed up your build dramatically. As a rule of thumb, use <number of cores + 2> but never more than <number of GBs memory>, i.e.: "make -j 10" called from within the MITK-superbuild/MITK-build directory for an 8-core processor with at least 10GB RAM. - Instead of make you can also use the Ninja Generator (apt-get install ninja-build). No need to specify any multi-core parameters with "ninja". It will be noticeably faster than "make" as it is not as verbose as make. However, you would need to do a fresh build, since you cannot pick up a "make" build. - Advanced: You could even reduce build times of complete subsequent superbuilds to a few minutes by using tools like ccache, but for the beginning stick with pure make or ninja.

Hi, I have searched the mailing list but could not seem to find the best way to incrementally/quickly build an MITK module under development. I am using the example template here: https://github.com/MITK/MITK-ProjectTemplate and have verified it appears in the MITK GUI and works after setting MITK_EXTENSION_DIRS. I have tried "make MITK-build", but this takes 35 minutes even after an initial superbuild and seems to run make for many (all?) un-touched MITK dependencies. I am sure no one could easily develop code in this way, so what is the right way to only re-compile the plugin module on its own? _______________________________________________ mitk-users mailing list mitk-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mitk-users
