Hello,
Is is possible speed up building (in linux) some how? (without to buy a faster computer)
It looks it is not building using multiprocessor.

make -j4 helps (substitute number with processor numbers)

Also, every small change, it will took a lot of time by the linker to do its business.
I do believe the only way would be implement dynamic objects or someting but it will change drastically the architecture. :/

It is actually done with dynamic objects. *Large* dynamic objects :D

C++ is not famous for generating small code especially in debug
builds...


Hi,

If you have a spare PC, then you may use distcc to distribute compilation to a few machines. binutils-gold are expected to decrease the linking time.
