Hi Alex, Check your virus scanner isn't checking all the files. When I used Norton AV it would check all the files each time they were loaded, and this resulted in slow compiles (as the compiler etc is loaded for each file) When I disabled Norton for the CW directories it considerably speed up compilation.

In addition to what has been said: I could imagine that it could be due include files included more than necessary? I good thing is to try out the compiler option -Pio.

Hi Alex, In addition to what George wrote, be sure you are building a debug version and not a release version with inlinging and optimizations taking place. These can take a lot of time especially if you have a large switch statement. Other tricks to speed up compiles, do not use recursive access paths so you are not searching sub paths that are not used. Put your most read path first in the access paths order, but mainly be sure you are not building an optimized version for development work.

Alex, Are you building this project outside of the Metrowerks folder? Try moving the whole project under the CodeWarrior CW12 folder. We added a "Users" folder there for building our projects. We experienced excessive compiling times building projects on the desktop when metrowerks was 4 or 5 directory layers below. george -----Original Message----- From: 68HC12@68HC...
