It varies greatly, depending on compiler, processor, memory, etc. But as a general rule, building with Borland takes forever. By the time you finish building with Borland, there will probably be updates in CVS, or a new version of Borland. Bulding with MSVC takes a while, but nowhere near so long as Borland.
* How many tools and vendors are involved (borland, microsoft, etc.)
You can build the whole library with any of Borland Builder, MSVC, or Cygwin. However, if you build with Borland, you'll need the ICU data DLL that gets built with MSVC.
The reason I ask: I'm trying to rebuild diatheke and ActiveDiatheke from "scratch", including the ICU versions. This involves libsword.icu and libsword6icu.lib. It is taking forever. No doubt there is some "operator error", but I'm using the unmodified CVS sources.
I'm not sure if you caught the latest commits that I did last night, but everything is up & running to build ActiveDiatheke from scratch, including linking ICU. However, you will need to build ICU itself separately. I'm still contemplating whether I should include the ICU project in the ActiveDiatheke workspace, since it isn't necessarily going to be built by those who don't need/want ICU.
It leads me to wonder: how long does it take to rebuild Sword?
A while.
