That is normal - the OpenVRML code is chock full of templates and various complex C++ constructions, so the compilation takes ages. GCC is not the fastest compiler when it faces loads of template code. > Previous builds it's got stuck on certain files, just sitting there > forever until I assumed that it hard got into a infinite loop or > something similar so aborted the build, I did a number of these with > different options.

For me it never hung on anything, it just took a while to build. Could you have some system issue? E.g. a latent filesystem problem? The libtool is used only at the very end as far as I could see, so that shouldn't affect compilation. > > I'm just installed openvrml and now doing an OSG build, safe in the > knowledge that it'll work just fine with parallel build and scream > through each .cpp doing several a second.
