Hi bonelli,
If you go to Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Behaviour you should see a check box for “Enable parallel build” that is unchecked by default. Checking that should benefit you since it should use more cores for compiling.

It is possible that compiles could take longer if you are optimizing your code as well.

Do you find that the first compile taked long or does it take too long every time? MX adds a lot of library files but those should only need to compile once.

Lastly... Are you using an SSD? I have spoiled myself and find I cannot tolerate using a conventional HD for the system and user drives any more. I still use ‘spinning rust’ for bulk storage (backups, videos, stuff like that.) Lots of RAM should help by cacheing the HD but you still have to read the files at least once to get them in the cache.

HTH,
hank

Parallel build: a clean project compile in 17s instead of 1min

A partially-compiled project compile in a few seconds, this is acceptable !

Thank you for this advice.
