I just started fiddling with the DJGPP version 110 software and have a
problem compiling almost any program within a reasonable amount of time.
I have the software loaded on a 386DX-25MHZ machine with 8 Megs of physical
memory using ST-277-1 (28ms) disk drives. Even compiling main(void){}
resulted in 3 minute compiles. I let the compiler thrash on the sample
programs (3 hour compiles) last night. I tried with QEMM386 and with
HIMEM.SYS (using extended memory) with the same results. I have previously
used the GCC compiler under the linux operating system with normal results
(i.e compiles within seconds) and of course Borland C++. I am sending this
message not to complain but to ask - what have I missed? Is the DJGPP really
this slow? I have set up the tmp file on drive C: while the compiler and
source code reside on drive D: - looking at the lights on the drives it
appears that significant paging is occuring. I am using Stacker 3.0 on
both drives C and D - any clues?
