Qt X11

[Klash]

I realise this is fairly machine specific, but can anyone give me
a round indication how long qt x11 would take to compile, its
coming up to 48 hours now, and its still slogging away.

Had no errors at all, its just taking FOREVER.

Machine is fairly crap, P-133 32mb, with 192 swap.

And to be honest ive tried checking at what stage thru the
makefile its up to, but im no proggy, just normally hack thru things.

last few entries were:
g++ -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/opt/qt-gcc3-2.3.2/qt-2.3.2/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -pipe

Its getting there.. your machine is quite slow for this.. mine (dual ppro-200 with 256MB took about 7hrs)... yours is about 3 times slower, plus it is going to constantly swap with only 32MB of RAM. One big question... are you in X when you build? If so, it is gonna be REALLY REALLY SLOW (since X is taking up all your memory plus some).

actually, i am thinking all you have done could be in vein. check out this line you wrote...



g++ -c -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/opt/qt-gcc3-2.3.2/qt-2.3.2/include

if you are using redhat 7.2, it should have started with "g++3" and if you are using mandrake 8.1 it would be "g++-3.0.1". of course, if you are using something else and perhaps have totally replaced gcc 2.96 with gcc 3.0.x you should be fine.

Ah, the joy.

Nah, I wasnt in X, and it is 7.2 RH

It finally finished, for a total of 51 Hours straight.
Works like a dream, and I must say, im amazed
at how well it performs..

Great work Guys.
