Hi all
I have a big problem of slow during build of my solution in Visual Studio
2008.
The compile-time while by a solution of twenty projects, committed my pc for
approximately 15-18 minutes.
The processor has 2 GHz speed, and 2 GB of RAM.
Throughout this slowness may be due to what?

Thank you

Louis

20 projects = how much source code? Are you using Rebuild, thus forcing
*all* code to be recompiled, whether or not it was changed?

Hello,

build diagnostic output might help to find the reason (Tools / Options / Projects and Solutions / Build and Run / MSBuild project build output verbosity / Diagnostic).

Some possibly measures for improving build performance:

- Use the same output path for every project
- Set Copy Local to False
- Additional solution configurations for partial builds
- Decouple components (and projects)
- Change virus scanner policy

HTH!
