How big is the source code you're trying to compile, roughly? Also, how big is the map?
|
Some people have also reported that using the "Automatically set FILE_DIR for sub-directories" preference option can slow down compile speed for projects with a lot of, well, sub-directories. Try disabling that and specifying your icon sub-directories manually with #define FILE_DIR directory_here

I think that FILE_DIR thing is a red-herring as I did a number of tests this weekend and our file lookups were never the bottleneck. Nevertheless, in the next version I have it set to only include directories that have resources (so you'll have to manually add dirs that use non-icon/sound resources).

Map = 150x100
In case i unchecked Automatically set FILE_DIR do i need to add #define FILE_DIR directory_here or i just uncheck it and delete the folders, with no sub-directories. | |
FILE_DIR will just make it so that you can directly reference any resources in subdirectories of your game, without specifying the directory path. If you uncheck it and do a clean-compile and it still works, then there is no issue. If you get path errors, you'll have to manually add in the directories that contain your resources with code like:
#define FILE_DIR icons
At any rate, if this does in fact fix the problem, be sure to let us know because in my tests, it doesn't make a difference. I'd also be curious if this new version fixes the problem. | |
