Print Page - CB Compile time

How long takes to compile CB for MSW with GCC ? To me seems GCC 4.7.1 is significantly slower than GCC 3.4.5.

That's hard/impossible to answer. A completely fresh build can take anywhere from under 3 minutes to 20 minutes (45+ minutes if you enable LTO).

This totally depends on

your disk access time and bandwidth
CPU speed
main memory
antivirus software
optimization options

Any of the above can make a +/- 50% difference.

Have you fallen into trouble linking wxWidgets due to exhausted memory ? This happens to me with TDM-GCC 4.7.1 but not with GCC 3.4.5. I know this to forum about wxWidgets but it is used for the CB so I ask.

Search the forum, I think this is discussed in other topics (probably the TDM topics).
I think you need monolithic or non-monolitic builds (depends on what you're currently using, you need the opposite config)

I have solved the trouble of linking of wxWidgets monolithic build with TDM-GCC 4.7.1 using incremental link for LD.
Not the ideal state but for me helped. The 1st step still consuming lot of memory but not fails. If fail I think can
be split into intermediate steps. See this the bash script.

I just installed the same version of CB with MinGW 4.71 as well and wxWidgets takes forever initially.
Will be interested to hear what the final solution is on that.

Have you fallen into trouble linking wxWidgets due to exhausted memory ? This happens to me with TDM-GCC 4.7.1 but not with GCC 3.4.5. I know this to forum about wxWidgets but it is used for the CB so I ask.

Under a 32bit system, with LTO enabled, yes, that will happen (LTO eats up about 2.7 GiB of working set for that task). It just barely works if you patch the ld executable to have the LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag set and reboot with /3G. Or well, if you use 64 bits of course, you don't have any trouble.

Without enabling LTO, you shouldn't have any such issues, ever -- unless you run on an embarrassingly low spec machine with too little physical RAM. I've been building wxWidgets on machines with 1GiB of main memory no problem.

We used

Code

mingw32-make.exe -f makefile.gcc VENDOR=cb BUILD=release SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=1 UNICODE=1

to build wxWidgets which took I dont know exactly 30-40 mins on dual core XP machine 2.4GHz machine without antivirus scanner but always failes on the link step. To solve link troubles we have used the bash script above. Of course you need customize it with your own Mingw paths.

Search the forum, I think this is discussed in other topics (probably the TDM topics).
I think you need monolithic or non-monolitic builds (depends on what you're currently using, you need the opposite config)

Adding CXXFLAGS="-fno-keep-inline-dllexport" to the make commandline should fix the exhausted memory issue.
