[Mactel-linux-users] Compiling Linux

[Jelle De L. <sk...@ki...>]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently compiling the linux kernel on my AppleTV (I'm following 
the Gentoo tutorial on MythTV's wiki) and I was just wondering how long 
it would take.

I've read about long compiles, about 14 hours, on regular machines. I 
know there's only 1 ghz in this machine but since it's a silent compile 
and the only feedback I'm getting is from ps -x I got too curious.

It's been at it for 20 hours now. The script is still displaying 
"building dependencies".
There seems to be a lot of activity according to ps -x, yet the disk 
space usage stays the same.

So I got a bit worried. And yes, it's my first kernel-compile :)
