Hello,
is there a way to increase the build speed of the real view compiler? At work we have a project which uses C++ /SAM9263 CPU which takes about 10 Minutes at the moment. My colleagues tried pre-compiled headers but it still takes very long. Is it possible to start multiple threads like in an Eclipse/GNU compiler environment?
What's the benefit of multiple threads? Do you have multiple CPUs? If so, you should consider using make for your build process and look at its -j command line option.
Multiple CPUs, a hyperthreaded CPU or multi-core CPU will allow concurrent execution.
But for compilation, you may want to run more than one compilation at a time even with single-core, non-hyperthreaded single-processor. That depends on how large percentage of the build time that is related to code optimization (CPU-bound) or disk-operations.
I would definitely recommend looking for a make that supports concurrent compilations.
