Description ohallot 2003-07-15 12:39:27 UTC 
No that this is a defect, but for the records,

The same computer (CPU,mem,HD) built under linux Mandrake 9.1 in 10 hours, as
indicated in the online docs.

reformatting all and going to Win XP, Visual Studio .net, cygwin and tcsh takes
30+ hours to build.

You may want to warn users of that "feature".

mh->vq: can you confirm this ?
Comment 2 quetschke 2003-07-15 22:18:20 UTC 
vq->mh: I don't have a big difference between tcsh and 4nt builds.

I need roughly 10h on an AMD1700XP with 256MB ram. (well tcsh might
need 20 minutes more than 4nt)
Comment 3 quetschke 2003-07-20 08:24:48 UTC 
Hi!

A MSVC 6 build with tcsh just finished using a network share instead
of a local harddisc:

W32-MSVC-tcsh-local:      620 min
W32-MSVC-tcsh-smbshare:  1366 min

It is a network share on another Win2K computer, 100MBit Ethernet,
both PCs AMD1700XP and 7200" harddisc.

vq->olivier: Can you confirm that you build on a network share.

I'll get some numbers for a 4nt build soon.
Comment 4 ohallot 2003-07-20 12:34:36 UTC 
Hi,
No, I don't have shared disk in my computer nor i am using a network
share. My configuration is not in the bleeding edge.... A PIII celeron
of 1 GHz, 256 MB ram and a old disk of 10Gbytes, a MB with everything
on-board (Biostar M6VLQ)...

I just wanted to notify the gap between a linux build (MDK 9.1, gcc
3.2, glibc 2.3.1) and a windows build ( Win XP + VS.net + tcsh) in the
same hardware (both fresh installs). This of course can be blamed to a
ton of causes, and may not be related to OO. (disk fragmentation, disk
speed, memory management, concurrent processes, blah blah blah...)

Comment 5 quetschke 2003-07-21 18:15:48 UTC 
I have a new datapoint:

W32-MSVC-4nt-smbshare:  1044 min

Well, 5 hours less than the tcsh build, but still 7 more than
the build on the local harddisk. 8-)
Comment 6 Martin Hollmichel 2003-07-21 18:38:49 UTC 
compiling with shared network drives on Windows is really a pain,
using cygwin for this is worse than a pain, this is our experience, too.

for a real speedup, cross compile on Linux host could be a solution.
Comment 7 Martin Hollmichel 2003-07-21 18:44:20 UTC 
resolving issue to wonfix, since this is a windows and cygwin problem.
Comment 8 utomo99 2003-11-11 10:57:51 UTC 
Maybe the latest cygwin 1.55 little bit helping this problem ? 
but the fix for cygwin 1.55 not yet included in the tarbal maybe in 1.1.1
Comment 9 quetschke 2003-11-11 11:53:26 UTC 
I certainly *is* in cws_srx645_ooo111fix1, but I doubt that it is
faster.
Comment 10 Martin Hollmichel 2004-02-17 09:00:59 UTC 
verified.
Comment 11 Martin Hollmichel 2004-02-17 09:03:20 UTC 
close issue.
Comment 12 utomo99 2004-04-07 07:14:13 UTC 
I add my data
I try to build OOo 1.1.1 using
Duron 1.1Ghz
Memory 256 MB DDR Pc 2700
HD 10 Gb IDE ATA 100
Visual studio .net 2002 entreprise architect, cl.exe version 13.0.9466.0, 
Ml.exe version 7.0.9466.0 JDK 1.4.2_02 win 2000 pro cygwin 1.5.9-1, Tcsh.
I need 19 hour (start from dmake)

I will try with other computer which is faster and more memory.
