Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] packet-parlay.c takes a very long time to compile in Fedora C
Hi,
Seeing the same thing here, a long compile. It's not 10 minutes, but
condiderable. But what do you expect from a source file over 100KLOC!
~/src/ethereal/ethereal$ wc plugins/giop/packet-parlay.c
108689 251398 3164243 plugins/giop/packet-parlay.c
~/src/ethereal/ethereal$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.0.3 (Debian 4.0.3-1)
Thanx,
Jaap
