Desktop build times much longer

Monkey Targets Forums/Desktop/Desktop build times much longer

Updating Monkey and switching to the Windows Desktop target has pretty much doubled build times for our project, which puts a real dent in productivity. Anyone else experienced this?

Yeah I can wait like 2 minutes some times for builds on windows, think it's mostly down to hardware tho as others build faster to windows and slower to other targets, I for example build lightning quick to html5 but slow as hell to flash so I always work in html5 for speed.

Weird I have the opposite effect from earlier monkey version to 83a now the glfw3 target compiles in about a minute on my eeepc

Is glfw3 the same thing as "Desktop Game"?

Tracked it down: USE_MINGW had changed to 'true' in the CONFIG.MONKEY template. Changing that so that it uses VS2010 again dropped the build time back to normal. EDIT: Although I did have to correct a C89/C99 standards error in the monkey joystick code to get it to compile.
