This may be a dumb question, but maybe someone can tell me what in the
world I'm doing wrong.
I have DJGPP installed on a 486 SX 33 with 8 MB of RAM and about 150 MB
of free HDD space (built the computer from spare partS). I tried to
make Allegro on it though...
And its going at incredibly slow speeds. Its been running for 30+ hours
and its nowhere near done yet.
bmp.c alone took about 10 hours to get through, thats only a 15 KB
file!
Is DJGPP going to be in general this slow on that sort of a system? I'm
using this for a school project and its really not going to be good if
my compile time is going to be days and days for even relatively small
makes.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
