Re: [Gumstix-users] Newbie Getting started building gumstix-basic-image- NEED HELP

The first build is extra slow because it has to download a bunch of stuff.
So the build time is very dependent on your download speed.

 

For another reference point, my 3.4GHz P4 takes about 6 hours for a full
build, *after* the first build. I don't remember how long that took.

Subject: [Gumstix-users] Newbie Getting started building
gumstix-basic-image- NEED HELP

 

So I've been going through the getting started page at
<http://www.gumstix.net/Software/view/Getting-started/Setting-up-a-build-env
ironment/111.html>.  I am running a new distro of Debian 4 with X11 and KDE
desktop.  My PC is a Dell Dimension 1000 with a 1 GHz P3, 256 MB RAM, and
20GB HD.  Everything has been going smoothly up until I executed bitbake
gumstix-basic-image.  Bitbake is processing 1391 tasks! It has been running
for 5 hours as of this email and has only completed about 338 of them.  At
this rate it going to take all day to build.  I know the getting started
page said the first build would take some time as it needs to install source
code and that JIT would probably help, but is this normal?  How long do
these builds typically take? Am I doing something wrong?  Please note that
I've set up everything described in the getting started page, packages, svn,
environment setup option A and source code caching.

Thanks,

Brian Joly
