this is normal, as, for the time being, "make" triggers re-scanning of the documentation directory by Meson (the building backend), which isn't fast (that's 15 years of technical debt sitting there, Sage's documenation building system is rather non-standard now). If you did "./configure --disable-doc" (not to build documentation in html/pdf), then "make" will be much faster, as the latter bottleneck is then avoided. > > Running command Preparing editable metadata (pyproject.toml) > [sagelib-10.9.beta5] [spkg-install] + meson setup --reconfigure > /home/vdbergh/sage-github/sage > /home/vdbergh/sage-github/sage/build/sage-distro -Dbuildtype=release > -Db_ndebug=if-release -Db_vscrt=md --default-library=static > --native-file=/home/vdbergh/sage-github/sage/build/pkgs/../platform/meson/sage-configure-native-file.ini > -DSAGE_LOCAL=/home/vdbergh/sage-github/sage/local -Dbuild-docs=True > --native-file=/home/vdbergh/sage-github/sage/build/sage-distro/meson-python-native-file.ini > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-support" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/sage-support/3aab1d6e-bd4d-4e2a-8dce-3612164f5f9fn%40googlegroups.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
