Hi all,

We are building our application with make and dcc32 (delphi7). Some packages
are really slow to compile (more than 10 minutes) and the total compile time
is now more than 2 hours !
The build machine is a dual core 2.5 Ghz - 4 Gb mem and the destination
binary files are on a different drive than the sources.
While the majority of packages compile very quickly, some are really slow.
The build contains 220 packages.

Does someone has some tips on such builds ?

Thanks
Jacques Garcia Vazquez
