I don't know about that - I compiled the GNU CC sources on a standard Atari ST with 4Meg and a 700k Ramdisk for the intermediary files and it took me something like 8 or 9 hours. The time is just a guess, I started one Friday evening and, with various timeouts and problem tracking, I finished sometime early Saturday morning. I was pretty beat for a while after that. Note this was just the compiler driver, C pre-processor, and C compiler driver proper. I didn't get to the assembler yet. You also need something like a 20Meg partition (I used 32Meg) just to hold all this. I would use my SUN/3 at work, but, so far, I just get core dumps when I try to compile the GNU compiler with itself. It takes quite a while on the Sun/3, too. >Jens Tingleff MSc EE, Institute of Computer Science, Copenhagen University >Snail mail: DIKU Universitetsparken 1, DK2100 KBH O >"It never runs around here; it just comes crashing down" > apologies to Dire Straits -- Jim Hurley --> jimh@ultra.com ...!ames!ultra!jimh (408) 922-0100 Ultra Network Technologies / 101 Daggett Drive / San Jose CA 95134
