We are using 8.05a of the CX51 compiler. Our program is over 300K long. The compiler times are getting rather long. About 2 minutes. Can the compiler make use of a dual processor to speed up compiling? What is the recommended computer to use? I realize that more RAM helps but after so much it may be irrelevant.
Is your source code located on a local drive or on a network drive?
Network drive. It is probably not the network. We have been building on this code for a while. compiling and linking has been steadly getting slower. Smaller normal sized code(less than 64K) is much faster.
