How to speed up build time?

Post by vakoz »

Hi.
I'm starting with Ogre and after few tutorials from wiki (which are great +) I'm wondering how to speed up build time of Ogre Wiki Tutorial Framework http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/tiki-ind ... +Framework(if its possible). My set is:
- OGRE 1.9 SDK for Visual C++ 2012 (32-bit)
- Windows 8
- Asus G74SX (i7-2630QM, 8GB RAM)
I use precompiled headers. Now after add staff from tut1 it's ~11 sec (not tragic comparing to some .Net frameworks :p). How long is your build time? Are linux & gcc faster than Windows & VS2012? Any tips & tricks are welcome ;)

I've talked about it in my blog.

Visual Studio 2012 is really slow. 2013 was an improvement, but still far behind VS 2008, GCC & Clang. I haven't yet tested the new VS 2015.
