Hi

How much does it take to compile glibc,gcc and kernel on your system?
For me, kernel takes around 30 minutes, gcc takes around 20 minutes and glibc takes around 25 minutes.
Please mention your pc hardware information.

Thanks.

On my system gcc requires 40-42 minutes and glibc requires 21-22 minutes.
Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name"
model name   : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E8400  @ 3.00GHz
model name   : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E8400  @ 3.00GHz

With same proc as fturco, glibc needs 15 to 16 minutes on my system. :P (while watching mplayer... :P :P )
But... gcc needs *a lot more* : that is 1 hour and 15 minutes... 8O (running single user... 8O 8O )
OK... this is mainly because
Code:
acoswt@PrimaPratica /etc/portage $ cat /etc/portage/env/sys-devel/gcc
GCC_MAKE_TARGET="profiledbootstrap"

I do recommend it (unless you frequently build gcc of course) it is really worth it.

BTW... you can see that comparing times for building something is just meaningless if you do not state precisely what you build (options) and how you build it.

I usually do things like building gcc and glibc from console, pre starting X.

The last times I have were for an amd x6 1065 overclocked to 3.6 running 5 of six cores for build (1 reserved for me :) )

sys-libs/glibc-2.15-r3 merge time: 11 minutes and 2 seconds.

sys-devel/gcc-4.7.3-r1 merge time: 18 minutes and 36 seconds.

I've since upgraded the cpu and have it overclocked to 4 ghz, but don't have timings yet.

Don't keep timings on the kernel, but it's nowhere near 30 min.

kernel less than 5 minutes (I use seeds), the others:

Code:
localhost rodrigo # genlop -t sys-libs/glibc sys-devel/gcc
 * sys-libs/glibc

     Wed Jan 15 23:04:37 2014 >>> sys-libs/glibc-2.17
       merge time: 57 minutes and 21 seconds.

 * sys-devel/gcc

     Tue Jan 28 00:29:52 2014 >>> sys-devel/gcc-4.7.3-r1
       merge time: 2 hours, 19 minutes and 35 seconds.


CPU: AMD E-350

Code:

sys-devel/gcc-4.7.3-r1       merge time: 1 hour, 16 minutes and 11 seconds.

$ grep -F 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo
model name      : Pentium(R) Dual-Core  CPU      E5200  @ 2.50GHz

NFC about kernel, never time it. I'll time next one, and see, though that does depend on config as well.

Yeah, this kind of makes the kernel compile times meaningless, unless people use the same .config it's hard to compare...

I compile most if not all USB drivers and that adds a lot to the kernel build times. I know a lot of people probably compile only things they have and nothing more. I just got tired of having to rebuild kernels (and possibly needing a reboot) when I get some sort of random hardware, so I just paid it forward and built a lot of modules.

I've had kernel build times from around 1 minute (dual celeron 450 with ~2.0 kernel) to 5 hours (386-40 with 0.99pl12 kernel, 4MB), it's been a long ride with lots of different machines. Right now it's somewhere in between...

About 4 minutes for the kernel with make -j12

All this with KDE up and running and several apps open.

That documentation is not outdated (Last modified 2014-01-03), but I am lazy and since the eclass takes care of that already...

The documentation is wrong. You can profilbootstrap gcc in parallel at least since 4.6.

Yet another belief or do you hold "These pages are maintained by the GCC team. Last modified 2014-01-03." for a disgraceful decorating idea ?

That page gets automatically updated from gcc/doc/install.texi. I will post a patch to remove the sentence.
