Increasing Build Speed

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?

  • I never really worked with the combination Eclipse/GNU, so I can say literally nothing about it. But what stops you from making a couple of separate make-files (that are mutually exclusive in terms of the files they compile) and running them in separate consoles? the last script will do the linking (this way you get separate processes, not threads). I am not sure what the benefits of this approach actually are, though.

  • Strange ...

    When I've had to use Eclipse/GNU combination, I always ended up swearing and cursing at the *&%$ing slow build speeds.

    The last, for a Wavecom project, was painfully slow before I optimized the makefiles - Then it was bearably slow.

    No complaints about the MDKARM package though.
