| 323760 | 2005-02-11 01:15:00 | Hey, I have my Gentoo box up and running. I tried an emerge firefox and once it had downloaded all the sources it began compiling... Thing it its been going for near 45 minutes. Is this normal? I would think not? Ash |

| 323761 | 2005-02-11 01:23:00 | Yup Depending on your CPU, it could take an hour. Here's a few things to emerge that you may like: emerge esearch guitoo genlop Then run: eupdatedb You can then type: esearch appname rather than the slower: emerge search appname guitoo is a nice portage front-end genlop -t appname will tell you how long it took to compile. Here's my 800Mhz w/394MB Ram: SuperNova root # genlop -t mozilla-firefox * net-www/mozilla-firefox Mon Nov 22 05:00:55 2004 --> net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0 merge time: 2 hours, 43 minutes, and 45 seconds. merged totally 1 ebuild in 2 hours, 43 minutes, and 45 seconds.

| 323762 | 2005-02-11 05:23:00 | genlop -t appname will tell you how long it took to compile . genlop is a nice tool, thanks for that Chill! :) Just emerged it now as I was curious about some of my compile times . I have Gentoo on a P3 933 MHz with 512 MB of RAM . I know recently when I emerge -e world it took 44 hrs to redo the whole system . . . think that was about 190 apps to re-compile? :rolleyes: Firefox is quick to emerge unlike mozilla: origin root # genlop -t mozilla-firefox * net-www/mozilla-firefox Tue Jan 18 16:22:15 2005 >>> net-www/mozilla-firefox-1 . 0 merge time: 1 hour, 31 minutes and 58 seconds . origin root # genlop -t mozilla * net-www/mozilla Mon Jan 17 11:03:21 2005 >>> net-www/mozilla-1 . 7 . 5 merge time: 14 hours, 47 minutes and 21 seconds . I have to admit, seeing the compile times just for a simple browser (Firefox) makes me hanker for my Fedora RPM's which install in seconds :D |
