Hi , This post is for djjgpp222 port for the PC. This 486 with 4M memory is terrible compiling .c files even a few pages long (about 2 to 3 minutes). If I make a .i file then make a .s file the resulting .o file takes 5 seconds to create using: gcc -c filename.s if I use: gcc -c filename.c the .o file is created fine but the hard drive light (fast drive too) is always on and very busy. I dont' understand what it could be doing. I would think 4M of memory should be enough for a small program to compile without using disk swaps. I ported my large program(8000 lines) from the Borland 3.1C++ (to get away from the terrible memory management) where it only takes less than a minute to make a .exe but gcc takes 30 minutes to make a.out! Any PC people out there suffering with this too? -- Bruce McArdle (EE GRAD STUDENT) / Give me a steady income and I'll put your mcardleb@woods.ulowell.edu / company name here!
