Slow builds with uVision for Windows V1.32 and NT

Robert Axtolis

I have a NT worksation 900Mhz PIII and the compile times are over 40 minutes. If I compile on a Win98 PII Notebook the compile times are 7 minutes.

I can not upgrade to the latest version of the compiler. I am stuck on Version 1.32 This version appears to be a Win16 program. I can not find any settings in the shortcut to change to improve the compile times. I can not find any setting in the IDE of the compiler to improve the settings.

The NT Task manager appears to indicate the compiler is waiting for something at the end of each files compile. The CPU usage is around zero most of the time.

No other processes are running during the compile.

    Hi Robert,
    I think this might be a matter of the sentinel driver with the old 16Bit-compilerversions - I couldn't fix this too, so I used win95 in the past (if you take a look at the NT-DOS-box and call there the compiler, you can see that it stops for a while - then it compiles in normal time).
    So maybe you should use the newer 32bit-compiler...
    best regards

    There is no security key with this compiler. So I am not sure about sentinel drivers?

    If I could I would like to create a make file for this project. I could then call this from a DOS box or a real editor like Slick Edit. I have no idea how to handle the link information about the banking.

    I can not upgrade the compiler what would solve the problems.

    Thanks for the time.

    Hi there Robert,

    When you say no sentinel drivers, I take it you mean you've got the USA version or similar which I've been told has no dongle.

    When you say you can't upgrade, I assume this
    is from an expense point of view.

    It might still be worth trying the new up to
    date version to see what the effects are - perhaps download a trial version, and try compiling a small piece of code. That way you could at least find if this was your problem, and with no money having to be spent.


    Yours,
