Problem fixed. But just how long should I expect for LO to build? I've
seen estimates on the net of and hour or two on a less powerful
processor than my own: but I've always had the impression it would be
a seriously long time.
That does not depend only on your processor, but also on your mass
storage device (HD or SSD), the use or not of ccache (for a second
build) and the build options you have chosen (for example the number of
parallel jobs). And probably on your OS too.
For me a complete build is about 2 hours with an i7 with 2 physical
cores and an SSD, if I allow 2 parallel jobs to the build system. I use
a Linux OS. On my previous PC it was about 4 hours with a HD and a i7
from an older generation.
Be patient. :-)
Wise words. Thanks for your reply.
I left it running all evening; it took somewhere between 2.5 and 5.5
hours to complete (which it did first time of asking). This was a
first-time build on a VM - quad 3.1GHz i5-3450 processor, 2Gb memory
allocated and running Mint (was swapping more than I'd have wished).
Having established it would build and run (with the same video problem,
incidentally), I finally looked at the sources. Now I begin to see why
changes take so long.... not a comment in sight for one thing, and a
spider's web of complexity. Sheesh! Nightmarish.
