Monkey 2 much time Compiling.

I have tried the example of hello world and it takes a considerable time to create the executable. Is that normal?

My starting point is that blitz3d does it faster and blitzmax equally.

Yup 15 to 20 seconds would be normal for first build. Once you start changing and rebuilding your code it should improve to less than 4-5 seconds.

@skidracer
I compile several times with the F5 key, but delay the same, am I doing something wrong?

No, monkey2 is an order of magnitude more complicated than blitz3d and blitzmax - you have been spoilt by amazing light weight performance of blitz.

It is normal. The fasted compile time of a monkey product is Monkey X with the Html5 target.

Do you do clean builds only?


MikeHart(Posted 2016) [#7]
@Wiebo, in Monkey2 and Ted2, you can only do clean builds with apps.
