Trying the self compile, but takes forever
I am testing the self-compiling on real hardware, as my ReactOS installation has no networking connection, I cloned the git repo on linux, and saved the source in E:\ReactOS\SRC, and installed RosBE in E:\RosBE
Running RosBE with E:\ReactOS\SRC as baseaddress, I execute the configure.cmd script, and here is where I can't go ahead, the script seems to hang after showing "Configuring done" in console and leaves Cmake.exe taking all of my cpu.
I tried leaving the laptop alone a couple of hours executing the configure.cmd but there is no result, in windows xp it takes about 30 minutes and then the output-MinGW-i386 folder is created, but in my case I cannot reach that step, maybe I am doing something wrong, give me a hand please.

Re: Trying the self compile, but takes forever
I tried checking out the source in a VM.... the initial checkout worked but git errored out with EINVAIL I think it as every time after that so I could't do anything like switch branches or even checkout again,...
I suspect BTRFS may work better than FAT32 once it's ready.

Self-compile works, but requires more hours to complete.Julcar wrote: ↑Fri Jul 27, 2018 10:38 pmI tried leaving the laptop alone a couple of hours executing the configure.cmd but there is no result, in windows xp it takes about 30 minutes and then the output-MinGW-i386 folder is created, but in my case I cannot reach that step, maybe I am doing something wrong, give me a hand please.
Initial configuration takes around 6 hours on Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, and full build process takes around 10 hours.

I leave it 8 hours (then I go to bed) and still the cmake.exe process was taking 100% of cpu and the process was incomplete, I think this could be improved in performance
Re: Trying the self compile, but takes forever
Well yeah. People are saying it works. Nobody is saying it's performant or recommended
By the way, if running configure.cmd in XP already takes 30 minutes for you, your machine is likely slower than most, meaning it will take even longer in ROS than the estimates given by others.
There should be some low-hanging fruit in terms of build performance though, perhaps some of them can be picked up during the Hackfest.

Re: Trying the self compile, but takes forever
Also note XP has SMP... and ReactOS doesn't so you get no benefit from multiple cores (even if the build process is single threaded it would still be faster on an SMP machine).
Re: Trying the self compile, but takes forever
That was a question I'd like to do on another thread, why RoS does not support more than 1 core?

Re: Trying the self compile, but takes forever
I trust on the capabilities of the current devs, keep in mind that a multicore support would give to ReactOS a stronger feature, as in nowadays almost every cpu on the market hast at least 2 cores, that could be a great project for the communityhbelusca wrote: ↑Thu Aug 02, 2018 11:01 pmWhy? Simply because NO competent person is here to complete what needs to be added in the kernel and in a HAL to support this.
Re: Trying the self compile, but takes forever
We still have first priority issues before adding multicore support...

Re: Trying the self compile, but takes forever
I figure it's an issue that will solve itself as it gets stable enough for developers to actually run natively and develop/build reactos on.
Being self hosting means it's very close to that... I would think developing reactos, on reactos should be pretty attractive to it's developers.
