I am working on building a distributable Ubuntru Virtual Box Appliance that has the latetest GCB preinstalled. I notice it works well, Wine is a constantly evolving product, I haven't applied any "Winetricks" yet, but when I invoke a compile it does work, but there is a very lesisurely display while GCB includes various headerfiles, one file at a time, producing a runtime for the compile of over 30 seconds. This if for even a simple program. On a Windows 10 machine it would be just a few seconds.
Does anyone have any like experience/help me understand, in this regard?
Thanks!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
A compile using VirtualBox takes just over eleven seconds. The same program, in the same location compiled using WINE takes 70 seconds. I thought I'd done something daft when 'corking the WINE bottle'.
Given how much I like GCB, I could live with the delay if I had to. I now need to try and find a programmer that is Mac compatible. I was going to try wrapping the GQ-4X programmer in WINE and see if it worked but I've seen that cleverer people than me have failed to get most USB devices working in WINE so I didn't bother. The GQ-4X program is sometimes temperamental under it's native Windows as it is. As I need VirtualBox for the programmer, I've reverted to it for GCB too.

Strictly as an experiment...

Here's a screencap of process.
Just spotted this thread after starting one regarding GCB on my iMac, using WINE.
