Yes, it does depend on C++11, but mostly by way of linking to LLVM. Julia by itself is not huge, but it depends on a bunch of external library dependencies that are. The most time-consuming of those are LLVM and OpenBLAS, which I believe we have mingw-w64 cross-compiled versions of available in Cygwin, so it might be possible to link against those to save some time, I haven't tried. I suspect those packaged libraries haven't been rebuilt against this test gcc build yet though. And in the default `git clone ...; make` build of Julia we apply some patches to fix various bugs depending on what versions of the dependency libraries we're using, so a USE_SYSTEM_LLVM build might have test failures that aren't due to the GCC version being used. On my 4 x (2 HT) core i7-6700 HQ laptop with an SSD, the from-scratch source build of Julia without linking to any pre-existing dependency libraries took about an hour. Not sure how that compares to QT. -Tony -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
